Bloodborne pathogens are infectious microorganisms present in blood that can cause diseases in humans. These pathogens can be transmitted through contact with infected blood or other potentially infectious materials (OPIM).
Bloodborne pathogen training covers knowledge and information about diseases that can be easily spread through blood. It teaches ways to protect yourself from getting infected. This also explains ways to handle and dispose of contaminated materials to prevent spreading infections.
Choose bloodborne pathogens course because of the following reasons:
Bloodborne pathogens can be transmitted through direct contact with infected blood or bodily fluids, as well as through needlestick injuries or contact with mucous membranes.
Healthcare workers, laboratory staff, first responders, and custodial and maintenance workers are at increased risk. This is due to their potential exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials.
Symptoms vary depending on the pathogen. It can include flu-like symptoms, jaundice, fatigue, abdominal pain, and in some cases, no symptoms at all until later stages of infection.
Prevention measures include using PPE, following safe work practices, properly handling and disposing contaminated materials, and getting vaccinated where applicable (e.g., hepatitis B vaccine).

“I’m not a people’s person and don’t like to go in a large group setting for my CPR certification. When I get nervous I tend to miss questions. I really like that this site allows for me to complete the course at my own pace, from a place of comfort. In this way, I can concentrate and truly grasp the CPR course concepts. Highly recommended!”
