objectivesBecause of the highly infectious nature of bloodborne pathogens and illnesses transmitted via contact with blood, accidents on construction sites carry serious risks beyond the initial incident. Accordingly, workers must be aware of how to avoid and appropriate response to exposure aimed to prevent the spread of disease. Bloodborne Pathogen Awareness for Construction provides bloodborne pathogen training for the construction industry to ensure you’re prepared to maintain a safe, healthy work environment.
This introductory online course helps students identify the hazards associated with bloodborne pathogens and covers OSHA’s standards for job site safety, where BBP exposure may occur. Course topics include:
An overview of common bloodborne pathogens, including HIV, HBV, HCV, and AIDS
How BBPs are transmitted, including accidents, CPR, and more
Exposure prevention and control
Best practices after exposure
Common accidents and incidents that result in bloodborne pathogen exposure
Proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
Other potentially infectious materials (OPIM)
Students are also encouraged to review Center for Disease Control (CDC) references and OSHA BBP Standard 29 CFR 1910.1030 for additional information about BBP and related safety on the job.
descriptionBecause bloodborne infections and diseases transmitted via contact with blood are extremely contagious, accidents on construction sites pose significant hazards that extend beyond the original event. As a result, employees must be informed of how to avoid exposure and how to respond appropriately to it in order to prevent the spread of illness. Bloodborne Pathogen Awareness for Construction offers bloodborne pathogen awareness training for the construction sector, ensuring that you are equipped to maintain a safe and healthy work environment. This introductory online course teaches students on the dangers of bloodborne pathogens and discusses OSHA's requirements for work site safety, which may include BBP exposure.
You must score at least 70% to pass this OSHA training. You will be given up to THREE opportunities to pass the quizzes and final exam.
