This Online Bloodborne Pathogens Training is designed for those at risk for on-the-job exposure to blood and other bodily fluids in the workplace. The Bloodborne Pathogens Training teaches staff how bloodborne pathogens are spread, how to avoid exposure, and what to do if exposed to infectious material. This course is one of the requirements of the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. After taking this Bloodborne Pathogens Training Course, students should discuss workplace policies and procedures with their employers. Those who complete the training receive a Bloodborne Pathogens Training certification valid for one year.
Example health hazards include but are not limited to Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV, Malaria, Brucellosis, Syphilis, West Nile Virus, etc.

Bloodborne Pathogen Compliance for Organizations
Our online Bloodborne pathogen training helps the employer to meet one of the OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogens (BBP) Standard. To meet other regulation requirements, Employers Must:
Exposure Control Plan
- Identify job classifications, tasks, and procedures where there is occupational exposure.
- Establish a written Exposure Control Plan and make it available to employees. Review and update it annually.
Safety Devices
- Evaluate medical devices with engineered sharps injury protection (safety devices).
- Use appropriate, effective, and commercially available safety devices.
- Involve front-line employees in the evaluation and selection process.
- Document the evaluation and selection of safety devices annually.
Hepatitis B Vaccination
- Offer free hepatitis B vaccinations to all employees with occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials (OPIM)
Other Controls
- Ensure that employees comply with Universal Precautions.
- Use engineering and work practice controls to eliminate or minimize employee exposure.
- Provide and ensure the use of appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves, gowns, lab coats, face shields or masks and eye protection, and mouthpieces, resuscitation bags, pocket masks, or other ventilation devices.
- Ensure that contaminated sharps are disposed of in proper sharps disposal containers.
Post-Exposure Incident Procedures
- Establish a procedure for post-exposure evaluation and follow-up. Document the route of exposure and other circumstances. Identify the source individual where feasible.
- Offer post-exposure medical evaluation by a healthcare professional at no cost to employees.
- Test the source individual’s blood for BBPs where possible, and test the exposed employee’s blood after consent is obtained.
- Ensure the provision of post-exposure medication when medically indicated and as recommended by the Department of Health & Human Services.
Bloodborne Pathogens Training
- Annually Train occupationally exposed employees at the initial assignment.

FAQ: Quick Reference Guide to the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard
What is the Bloodborne Pathogens standard?
OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogens standard (29 CFR 1910.1030), amended pursuant to the Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act of 2000, prescribes safeguards to protect workers against the health hazards caused by bloodborne pathogens. Its requirements include exposure control plans, universal precautions, engineering and work practice controls, personal protective equipment, housekeeping, laboratories, hepatitis B vaccination, post-exposure follow-up, hazard communication and training, and recordkeeping. The standard places requirements on employers whose workers can reasonably anticipate coming into contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials (OPIM), such as unfixed human tissues and certain body fluids.
What is the Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act?
The Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act (the Act) (Pub. L. 106-430) was signed into law on November 6, 2000. Because occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens from accidental sharps injuries in healthcare and other occupational settings continues to be a severe problem, Congress required modification of OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogens standard (29 CFR 1910.1030) to set forth in greater detail (and make more specific) OSHA’s requirement for employers to identify, evaluate and implement safer medical devices such as needleless systems and sharps with engineered sharps protections. The Act also mandated additional requirements for maintaining a sharps injury log and for the involvement of non-managerial healthcare workers in identifying, evaluating, and choosing adequate engineering and work practice controls. These workers are responsible for direct patient care and are potentially exposed to injuries from contaminated sharps.
How does the Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act apply to OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogens standard?
The Act directed OSHA to revise its Bloodborne Pathogens standard (29 CFR 1910.1030). OSHA published the revised standard in the Federal Register on January 18, 2001; it took effect on April 18, 2001. The requirement to implement engineering controls, including safer medical devices, has been in effect since 1992.
What is a Bloodborne Pathogen (BBP) Kit for Personal Protection
The Bloodborne Pathogen (BBP) Kit for Personal Protection contains multiple pieces of personal protective equipment (PPE) and tools to clean up fluid, blood, and other BBP incidents. PPE includes nitrile exam gloves, a face shield with a one-way valve, eye cover, a disposable plastic gown, disposable shoe covers, and a disposable bonnet. Spill clean-up supplies, including a Red-Z Fluid control solidifier, biohazard scoop, disposable towel, and a biohazard bag.
