Bloodborne Pathogens & Infection Control

Bloodborne pathogen exposure is one of the most serious and preventable occupational risks in healthcare, emergency response, laboratory work, and any environment where contact with blood or body fluids is possible. The difference between a safe response and a life-altering one often comes down to a few seconds of correct action.

This course provides a complete, OSHA-compliant training program on bloodborne pathogens and infection control. It meets the requirements of the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030) and reflects current guidance from the CDC, NIOSH, and applicable state-level regulations.

You'll understand the biology of HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C — including how they spread, how they are prevented, and what the actual transmission risks are. You'll learn Universal Precautions, how to select and use PPE correctly, how to handle sharps safely, and exactly what to do in the critical minutes after an exposure incident.

The course opens with a realistic scenario of how a routine task can become a serious exposure event — grounding the learning in the real-world stakes every employee in a bloodborne environment faces every day.
