Bloodborne Pathogens

COURSE OVERVIEW

Bloodborne pathogens are organisms such as viruses or bacteria that cause diseases in humans through blood transmission. Some of the most commonly known bloodborne pathogens are syphilis, hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV), and the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). It is important to understand that bloodborne pathogens can be a safety issue in any workplace where there is a potential for contact with blood or other bodily fluids through injuries, needlesticks, or similar incidents. Our Bloodborne Pathogens online course provides comprehensive training to help prevent and control exposure to these pathogens in the workplace.

The Bloodborne Pathogens course is divided into four sections:

  • Chapter 1: Understanding Bloodborne Pathogens
  • Chapter 2: Preventing Transmission and Exposure

  • Chapter 4: Dealing with Exposure Incidents
