Bloodborne pathogens are infectious microorganisms found in human blood that can cause serious diseases, such as hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). For individuals who work in environments where exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials (OPIM) is a possibility, understanding how to protect themselves is crucial. This is where training becomes essential—especially in meeting the standards set forth by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030) mandates that employers provide training to employees who might be exposed to bloodborne pathogens in their work environment. This training includes understanding the risks associated with bloodborne pathogens, the methods of transmission, and the implementation of control measures like the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), proper disposal of sharps, and protocols for exposure incidents. The standard is designed to reduce the risk of exposure and ensure a safe working environment for employees across various industries, including healthcare, first responders, laboratory technicians, and janitorial staff.
