Do You Need to Take the Bloodborne Pathogens Training Course?

Bloodborne Pathogen training is required for all employees who are covered by OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogen Standard. This includes any workers who have a reasonable chance of blood exposure through the skin, broken skin, eyes, or mucous membrane.

This standard includes all emergency first aid workers, laboratory employees, and housekeeping and janitorial staff, among others. Training is also required for anyone working with human blood, tissue, fluids, or cells that are considered “other potentially infectious materials” (OPIM) as defined by OSHA.

The risk of exposure is not restricted to employees of the healthcare industry. Initial or annual training is designed to identify the appropriate facilities where bloodborne pathogens may be found and discuss the necessary actions for reducing exposure and managing those agents.
