| COURSE NUMBER: | 1288 |
| HOURS (EST.): | 8 |
| CEUS: | 0.8 CEUs, 8 contact hours |
| REGULATION(S) SATISFIED: | 29 CFR

| PREREQUISITES: | Students will have previously taken a 40-hr or 24-hr OSHA Hazardous Waste Worker course and will have a valid unexpired certificate. |
| NOTE: | Our basic refresher compressed, with an included short course on Bloodborne Pathogens. |
Not only does this course fulfill your OSHA annual hazardous waste Refresher training requirement under 29 CFR 1910.120, it also gives you information that is applicable to what you do. When you choose this Refresher, you satisfy not only the requirement for your annual Refresher course but also the requirements under 29 CFR 1910.1030 for workers who may be exposed occupationally to Bloodborne Pathogens.
Yes, this course is one where you can choose to add to your base of knowledge and get some relevant information for your work or interests. It is not the same old material repeated in a different way. It has all of what is required for most people who need the annual Refresher course AND it also provides that extra focus in the area of Pathogens - both bloodborne and airborne. Take the course and receive a dual certificate!
Everyone who has taken the 24- or 40-hour OSHA Hazwoper course knows that they are required to maintain their certification by taking an eight-hour annual refresher course. 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.
Additionally, because this course has the emphasis on hazards associated with exposure to Pathogens, those whose work involves potential occupational exposure to these types of materials receive the most up-to-date and relevant materials related to these hazards. If you are someone who works around blood in the laboratory, as a provider of Emergency Medical Care, may cleanup areas with blood or hazards associated with it such as contaminated needles, or in any aspect of providing health care, this course is for you!
