LEARNING OBJECTIVES
There are over 100 types of bloodborne pathogens, such as
viruses, bacteria, and parasites, that can be present in the blood
or other body fluids of infected humans. Although the two most
publicized are the human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, and
the hepatitus B or HBV virus. Others include malaria, syphilis,
lyme disease, and Epstein-Barr virus.For employee awareness and protection, OSHA requires
employers to have an Exposure Control Plan, (Bloodborne
Pathogen Standard 29 CFR 1910.1030), in place. Park and
recreation personnel, EMTs, and nurses are some of many job
functions where bloodborne pathogen exposure can be a real threat. Your Exposure Control Plan must contain a training
component. This workshop is designed to meet the annual
training requirements of the Bloodborne Pathogen Standard
by introducing and reviewing information on exposure risks,
universal precautions, personal protective equipment, engineering
controls, safe work practices/housekeeping methods, exposure
control plan components, reporting procedures/requirements,
and more. Participants will learn prudent behaviors and practices to
deal with bloodborne pathogens in the working environment.
Topics include:
- Code requirements for the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen
Standard.
- Awareness of Bloodborne Pathogens in the workplace.
- Assessment of Bloodborne Pathogens including proper
precautions and protection relative to potential exposures.
- Actions to be taken upon exposure to Bloodborne
Pathogens.
Participants will learn how to secure and maintain a safer
working environment in the work arena relative to the OSHA
Bloodborne Standard.
NOTE: Certificates of attendence will be issued to all
attendees.
