OSHA Courses

Bloodborne Pathogens

If there's any chance you might come in contact with blood, you're at risk for contracting Hepatitis B or C, or HIV. The OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard provides guidelines for reducing that risk. And the Frankson Safety Courses Bloodborne Pathogens program shows you how to comply.

Our program meets OSHA requirements for Bloodborne Pathogens training. It explains how disease is transmitted, and how to control exposure through a four-way approach: work practice controls, engineering controls, universal precautions, and personal protective clothing and equipment.

OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard requires employers to safeguard employees who face potential occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials (OPIM). Employees such as first responders, dentists and dental hygienists, lab workers, police, EMTs and paramedics face a significant health risk as a result of occupational exposure to blood and OPIM because they may contain bloodborne pathogens. Bloodborne pathogens commonly found in the U.S. include hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
