Bloodborne Pathogens Training for Healthcare Workers
This online course introduces the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, and the practical measures used to reduce occupational exposure to blood and other potentially infectious materials in healthcare-related workplaces.
It builds on core bloodborne-pathogen safety principles with additional content for clinical and patient-facing environments, including injection safety, point-of-care testing, sharps handling, and healthcare-specific exposure risks.
Built for clinical settings
When general workplace training is not enough
Healthcare teams can face risks not normally encountered in general workplaces. The course adds guidance relevant to patient-facing tasks and clinical procedures where contact with blood, sharps, specimens, or other potentially infectious materials may be reasonably anticipated.
Clinical and Patient-Facing Roles
Suitable for workers who may encounter exposure risks as part of care, treatment, testing, cleaning, transport, or support duties.
- Nurses, physicians, medical assistants, and clinicians
- Dental professionals and dental-office teams
- EMTs, vaccinators, pharmacists, and care staff
Healthcare Support Environments
Also relevant to support teams working in facilities where occupational exposure may occur, based on their assigned tasks.
- Facility cleaning and environmental-services teams
- Care homes and related residential-care settings
- Medical couriers and specimen-logistics workers
Practical Prevention Focus
Training emphasizes the habits and controls that help prevent exposure before an incident occurs.
- Universal precautions and safer work practices
- PPE, sharps safety, cleaning, and decontamination
- Prompt reporting and appropriate post-exposure response
Course outline
Core BBP requirements with added healthcare modules
The course combines the foundational topics required for workers with occupational exposure risk with focused content for healthcare facilities and clinical procedures.
Bloodborne Pathogens Foundations
Understand what bloodborne pathogens are, how exposure can occur, and why the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard applies to workers with reasonably anticipated occupational exposure.
- Hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV, and other pathogens
- Blood, OPIM, and common routes of transmission
- Employer and employee responsibilities
Exposure Controls and PPE
Learn the measures used to eliminate or reduce risk before exposure occurs, from written plans to safer devices and protective equipment.
- Exposure Control Plans and universal precautions
- Engineering controls and work-practice controls
- PPE selection, use, removal, cleaning, and disposal
Sharps Safety and Exposure Response
Review safer sharps practices, incident reporting, confidential medical evaluation, follow-up procedures, and worker rights after a potential exposure.
- Needlestick and sharps-injury prevention
- Post-exposure reporting and follow-up
- Hepatitis B vaccination offer and declination rights
Healthcare-Specific Safety Practices
Apply bloodborne-pathogen safety principles to healthcare tasks where clinical workflows, equipment, and patient interaction create additional exposure considerations.
- Point-of-care testing and blood glucose monitoring
- Injection safety, needles, syringes, and medications
- Clinical risk assessment and patient-facing environments
Important: This course supports required workforce education but does not replace an employer’s Exposure Control Plan, site-specific orientation, task-specific training, written procedures, vaccination offer, or other responsibilities under the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. Employers must determine which roles have occupational exposure and what additional training applies.
