Bloodborne Pathogens Training is also available!

OSHA creates and enforces safety standards for workplaces.  The Occupational Exposure to Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29CFR1910.1030) was designed to eliminate or minimize employees’ exposure to human blood and other potentially infectious materials (OPIM) in the workplace.  This standard applies to all employees who, as part of their job, may reasonable expect to be exposed to blood and OPIM that many contain pathogens.
