Our Bloodborne Pathogens Training course is designed to provide a basic understanding of OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030), its scope, bloodborne diseases, their modes of transmission and prevention, and other pertinent information.
The bloodborne pathogens standard applies to workers in many occupations, including first responders, housekeeping personnel, nurses and other healthcare personnel, laundry personnel, and many other workers who may come in contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials in occupational settings.
If your job requires contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials as a part of your job duties, then in addition to this online course, it is important that you receive additional training from your employer.

This core objective of the Bloodborne Pathogens Training is to provide a basic understanding of OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030), and its regulatory requirements that help protect workers from the health hazards associated with occupational exposure to blood and other potentially infectious materials.
Course Objectives
After course completion the following learning objectives will be achieved:
- Understand the purpose of OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogens Standard and the Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act;
- Understand what a “pathogen” is, and enlist its various types;
- Explain the modes of transmission of bloodborne infectious diseases and describe preventive methods;
- List the elements of an effective exposure control plan used to prevent and minimize exposure to blood and other body fluids;
- Understand the importance of using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in the workplace;
- Summarize guidelines related to administration of the Hepatitis B vaccination series;
- Explain procedures related to post-exposure evaluation and follow-up; and
- Understand the procedure for dealing with a biological spill in the workplace.
This course is designed by OSHA Certified Outreach Trainers, and is updated and reviewed as soon as new requirements or regulations are released by OSHA. The course meets and exceeds the compliance requirements with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030 regulations.
Certification
Once the course is completed, you will immediately be able to download, print or save your Bloodborne Pathogens Training Certificate in PDF format. Hard copy and Plastic Wallet Card certificates will arrive in U.S. mail within 2-3 weeks.
There are no prerequisites for the course and has no on-site physical requirements.
It is important to remember that attending a training course on its own will not make a worker competent. Competence is developed over time by implementing the knowledge acquired through a training course to on-the-job work processes. Therefore, in addition to this online course it is important that you receive additional on-site training from your employer.
