Bloodborne Pathogens Training Protects Against Devious Diseases

Bloodborne pathogens are mysterious, sneaky, slimy little monstrosities that can cause nasty and potentially life threatening diseases in humans. These evil little cretins can cause Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV.  If you work in a place that you may be exposed to blood or other potentially infectious materials, don’t be caught unprepared for an invasion.  The brave souls in the medical field or the tattoo artists who craft art on the skin of willing victims know that bloodborne pathogens are no match for proper training. The OSHA standard requires that all workers exposed to bloodborne pathogens as part of their job duties must be trained in combat of the elusive criminals.

The OSHA standards include:

·         Exposure control plan

·         Plan must be updated annually

·         Use of labels to communicate hazards

·         Provision of training

·         Implement the use of universal precautions

·         Identify the use of engineering controls

·         Identity and ensure the use of work practice controls

·         Provide PPE

·         Make available hepatitis B vaccinations

·         Make available post exposure evaluation and follow up to any exposure incident

 Bloodborne pathogens are a serious offender to the protection of the human immune system. SafetySkills offers a bloodborne pathogens course that will comply with OSHA’s standards and regulations and can help in the defense of infectious microorganisms.
