Bloodborne Pathogens in First Response Environments Bloodborne Pathogens in First Response Environments

Bloodborne diseases continue to pose major health problems in first response environments. Increasing infection rates for Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C are now making them as serious a concern as HIV, the virus which can often lead to AIDS. So it’s more important than ever for employees to understand the hazards of bloodborne pathogens, the policies and practices that can prevent their transmission, and the OSHA regulations that address them. This training program provides essential information while assisting first responders in fulfilling the training requirements contained in the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030).
