Blood Borne Pathogens Training Modules

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration Blood Borne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030) requires employers of persons with occupational exposure to blood and other body fluids to provide training to reduce employee risk of exposure to blood borne pathogens. The Division of Public Health (DPH) has developed the following presentation to train its employees deemed to have such exposure.

If you are a DPH employee who must receive this training, please select the presentation "Blood Borne Pathogens Training" below to view the modules, and then complete the post test quiz by clicking on "post test" on the slide at the end of the presentation. It will take approximately one hour to do the training, and you may view each module separately at your convenience.

Local health departments and other employers are welcome to view the presentation as an example of required training for their employees. Each employer, however, must tailor the training to its own unique work setting.
