| TITLE: | OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens | | COURSE NUMBER: | 1284 | | HOURS (EST.): | 2 | | CEUS: | 0.2 CEUs, 2 contact hours | | REGULATION(S) SATISFIED: | 29 CFR, Part 1910.1030 | | PREREQUISITES: | None |
The use of the Remote Instructor™ concept is
required by OSHA for this program. They specifically mandate that a qualified
Instructor be available to answer questions and with our format, you have that.
Many online or video-based courses don't meet the regulations. Take advantage
of our Remote Instructor™ concept and learn important lessons that will help to
make you safer in your job. Receive 0.2 CEUs and a
certificate.
WHO SHOULD TAKE THIS CLASS?
We have designed the course in such a way
that it covers a wide spectrum of workers who have the potential for exposure
and who need the certification showing they have met the training requirements
for this particular regulation. Some of these types of workers could include
waste management workers, housekeeping or janitorial staff, facilities and
maintenance workers, and for those workers who respond to medical emergencies.
Keep in mind that while no one course can
possibly prepare every worker for every type of hazard that they might
encounter, this one covers a range of jobs and provides information on most of
the commonly-encountered pathogen hazards. This course is intended for those
who have minor to moderate exposure and those who work in the hospital setting
may need further job-specific training. Additionally, site-specific training
may also be indicated for your operations. The course will provide guidance for
you in these areas.
This self-paced program is full of
interactive exercises and activities to help you meet the OSHA requirement. All
of the information is delivered in a straightforward manner with the ability to
take it as time permits. Remember
too that you have access to a Remote Instructor™ who is knowledgeable on the
material and who can help to provide answers to your questions as well as to
make the material relevant to your job.
