Bloodborne Pathogens Standard Training

Any person who handles blood or certain other body fluids as part of their job, or whose job responsibilities include activities that might expose them to such body fluids is required to understand the potential hazards of such exposure and receive Bloodborne Pahtogens training. This training, Protection Against Bloodborne Pathogens, is provided in the accompanying manual and must be completed before initial exposure on the job, and at least annually thereafter. Training is also required when there has been a change in job duties and responsibilities by which there is a potential exposure to bloodborne pathogens.

This training consists of a number of informational modules covering an explanation of the OSHA Standard, epidemiology and transmission of bloodborne pathogens, appropriate work practices, procedures, and measures to control exposure. The training modules are followed by a testing section, which must be completed and returned to the office of Research Development and Compliance, Campus box 7134.

Who Needs to Complete This Training?

Mandatory for all laboratory investigators working with exposed blood, blood components, or any unfixed human tissue; and for other employees whose job responsibilities may expose them to such materials.
