Bloodborne pathogens are microorganisms that can be found in human blood, blood components, and blood products. When you're exposed to them, they can cause serious, even life-threatening diseases. To mitigate these dangers, OSHA has developed a standard for dealing with bloodborne pathogens in the workplace.
This program discusses elements of that standard including the different types of bloodborne pathogens and how you can be exposed to them, safe work practices, and what to do in the case of an accidental exposure while working in healthcare environments. Topics include:
- Different types of bloodborne pathogens and ways to be exposed to them
- What an exposure control plan is and the labels that are included in the plan
- Safe work practices and housekeeping when dealing with blood
- Different types of vaccines
- What to do in the case of an accidental exposure
