Blood Borne Pathogens

Service Description

Blood borne pathogen training is a type of occupational safety training that is designed to educate employees and other individuals who may come into contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials about the risks associated with exposure to blood borne pathogens such as HIV, Hepatitis B and C, and other pathogens. This course is designed to be after AED/CPR/First Aid course is taught. During this training, participants will learn about the various ways that blood borne pathogens can be transmitted, such as through needlestick injuries, contact with contaminated blood or bodily fluids, and other means. They will also learn about the symptoms of these infections, as well as methods for preventing exposure and reducing the risk of transmission. The training typically includes information on proper personal protective equipment (PPE) use, including gloves, masks, gowns, and other gear, as well as proper hand hygiene techniques, and other infection control measures. Additionally, participants will learn about proper handling, storage, and disposal of contaminated materials, and procedures for reporting and responding to exposure incidents. Overall, blood borne pathogen training is essential for anyone who works in a field where exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials is possible, such as healthcare workers, first responders, and laboratory personnel. It is an important part of maintaining a safe and healthy workplace and reducing the risk of infection and illness.
