Bloodborne Pathogens

This training module is designed to provide a basic understanding of bloodborne pathogens, common modes of their transmission, methods of prevention, and other pertinent information. A copy of the RCC Bloodborne Pathogen Exposure Control Program is available here, or upon request from Human Resources, Ext. 7005. This program is designed to meet the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA's) Bloodborne Pathogen Standard, 
29 CFR 1910.1030.

If you can reasonably anticipate facing contact with blood and/or other potentially infectious materials as part of your job duties, you should receive additional training from your instructor or supervisor including an opportunity for interactive questions and answers. You should also read this summary of OSHA's bloodborne pathogen standard before continuing with this module.

To receive credit for completing this module, please take the test at the end of the last section.
