Bloodborne Pathogens
All blood or other potentially infectious materials will be considered infectious regardless of the perceived status of the source individual. 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. All contaminated work surfaces, tools, objects, etc. will be decontaminated immediately or as soon as feasible after any spill of blood or other potentially infectious materials. The bleach solution or disinfectant must be left in contact with contaminated work surfaces, tools, objects, or potentially infectious materials for at least 10 minutes before cleaning.
OSHA Safety and Health Topics: Bloodborne Pathogens
In 2001, in response to the Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act, OSHA revised the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. Report immediately to your employer and seek immediate medical attention when exposed to bloodborne pathogens. Workers in many different occupations are at risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens, including Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV/AIDS. First aid team members, housekeeping personnel in some settings, nurses and other healthcare providers are examples of workers who may be at risk of exposure.
CDC Bloodborne Pathogens in Healthcare Settings
We propose a qualitative approach to infection control breaches in the absence of documented disease transmission to distinguish situations that clearly warrant notification and testing for bloodborne pathogens. Healthcare personnel are at risk for occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens, including hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and human immunodefi ciency virus (HIV). Exposures occur through needlesticks or cuts from other sharp instruments contaminated with an infected patient's blood or through contact of the eye, nose, mouth, or skin with a patient's blood.

According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), as of June 1994, there were 401,749 confirmed cases of AIDS in the U.S., and approximately 300,000 people become infected with hepatitis B annually. Bloodborne pathogens are microorganisms in the blood or other body fluids that can cause illness and disease in people. These microorganisms can be transmitted through contact with contaminated blood and body fluids. When bloodborne diseases are mentioned, most people think automatically of AIDS, but actually HBV, or the hepatitis B virus, is much more common.

To train your employees about their risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens and ways to protect themselves. The Bloodborne Pathogens Standard applies to you if you have employees with occupational exposure to blood or OPIM, even if no actual exposure incidents have occurred. Make sure all employees with occupational exposure participate in a training program that is: provided at no cost to them and conducted during compensated working hours.

Bloodborne Pathogens OSHA Training Materials
The purpose of this regulation is to "eliminate or minimize occupational exposure to Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and other Bloodborne Pathogens". In late 1986, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) petitioned OSHA to formally take action to reduce the risk to employees from exposure to various infectious agents.
Bloodborne Pathogens Safety Video
This Standard represents OSHA's first regulation of occupational exposure to biological hazards. This Course will do several things: show you how you can be exposed to bloodborne pathogens, show you how people who work in other areas can be exposed, and help you to protect yourself and others from bloodborne diseases. The Video (DVD/VHS) Program comes with a comprehensive Leader's Guide, reproducible Scheduling & Attendance Form, Employee Quiz, Training Certificate and Training Log.
Avoiding Bloodborne Pathogens Regulatory Kit
First, the publicity received in recent years regarding the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and AIDS has sensitized the public and legislators alike regarding the transmission of infectious diseases. Bloodborne diseases are a serious concern in the United States. "Hepatitis B" infects over 70,000 people annually, and has over one million "carriers" in the U.S. The HIV virus, which usually leads to AIDS, currently infects over one million people.
Bloodborne pathogens are dangerous, but exposure can be greatly reduced by this training kit.
