Bloodborne pathogens for the workplace

This course provides practical, easy-to-understand bloodborne pathogens (BBP) training designed for employees, supervisors, and safety professionals across a wide range of industries. Bloodborne pathogens are microorganisms present in human blood that can cause serious diseases such as Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV. While often associated with healthcare, exposure risks exist in many workplace settings—including manufacturing, maintenance, custodial work, and general industry. This training is built to help you recognize exposure risks, understand key regulatory requirements, and apply real-world protective measures to keep yourself and others safe. The course aligns with core expectations of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Bloodborne Pathogens Standard and is designed to support workplace compliance when paired with employer-specific programs and procedures.

What You'll Learn:

- What bloodborne pathogens are and why they matter

- The common bloodborne diseases

- How exposure occurs in real workplace situations

- Key OSHA requirements, including employer and employee responsibilities

Disclaimer: this training alone does not designate an employer as fully compliant with their duty to comply with the bloodborne pathogen regulation. Employers seeking bloodborne pathogen compliance with the hazard communication regulation can use this training content, but should also ensure that they train employees on the specific hazards and preventative measures and programs used in their workplace.
