Bloodborne Pathogens Training Course

Bloodborne pathogens are infectious microorganisms present in blood and bodily fluids that can cause serious or life threatening diseases.  In this course you will learn how to avoid exposure to bloodborne pathogens and what to do if exposed to them.

Are you at risk of becoming infected with a bloodborne pathogen? Bloodborne pathogens are infectious micro-organisms in human blood and other potentially infectious materials that can cause serious health issues and disease in humans. The three most common bloodborne pathogens are: HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C. Many occupations handle blood and/or body fluids or can be exposed to it and could potentially be contaminated. Contamination occurs when blood, or bodily fluid from an infected person enters the body of another person through abrasions, needle sticks, human bites or through mucous membranes. It is important to treat ALL blood and bodily fluids as if it is infected because there is no way to tell by just looking at it.

The Bloodborne Pathogens course is an excellent teaching resource that educates employees who handle or may come in contact with human blood and/or bodily fluids on how to stay protected against exposure and what to do in case of an exposure.
