Prevent Exposure To Harmful Diseases
3 Hour Course. Updated For 2026!!
Bloodborne pathogens are microorganisms in human blood that cause serious diseases. This 2026 course is designed to train workers on how to reduce or eliminate exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials (OPIM).
Under current OSHA standards, the primary risks include Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis B (HBV), and Hepatitis C (HCV). If your workplace involves needles, sharps, or any potential contact with OPIM—common for tattoo artists, medical technicians, and first responders—this training provides the engineering and work practice controls required to stay compliant and safe.
We also cover the real-world application of Universal Precautions, training you to treat all blood and OPIM as infectious to eliminate the risk of accidental transmission. Finally, you’ll learn the mandatory components of a 2026 Exposure Control Plan (ECP), including the legal protocols for incident reporting and post-exposure medical follow-up.
