Bloodborne Pathogens Training Curriculum - Risks and Requirements - Online Course, English

Exposure to bloodborne pathogens can happen in the workplace. Bloodborne pathogens are microorganisms that live in a person’s blood. They can cause serious diseases like hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV, AIDS, malaria, and Ebola.

Employees with “occupational exposure” are likely to have contact with blood and certain other body fluids at work. Those with occupational exposure need to know what to do if they have an incident with blood or certain other body fluids.

The Bloodborne Pathogens Training program is designed to help learners understand how to protect themselves and lessen the risks of exposure.

The Bloodborne Pathogens Training program consists of 3 modules:
