Training Overview
Bloodborne pathogens are infectious microorganisms present in blood that can cause disease in humans. Employees who have a reasonably anticipated occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials must be safeguarded against bloodborne pathogens such as HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C. Bloodborne diseases and airborne pathogens can potentially result in serious illnesses and even loss of life.
This training programme provides essential information on the fundamentals of bloodborne pathogens and safeguards to prevent infection.
