Our Bloodborne course is intended for individuals who require OSHA compliant training. The course covers information to protect yourself and others if exposed to blood and other potentially infectious materials. The Bloodborne Pathogens course is valid for 1 year, per OSHA guidelines.
All needles, sharps and potentially infectious materials must be stored and disposed of in specified containers with the proper warning label. Dispose of sharps in a puncture-resistant, sharps disposal container. Follow your workplace regulations when disposing of this waste.
Biohazard waste bags/containers must have a fluorescent orange or orange-red background with the international biohazard symbol.
OSHA requires warning labels on bags/containers of contaminated laundry; regulated waste; contaminated equipment that is being shipped or serviced; refrigerators or freezers that store blood or OPIM; and on bags/containers used to store, dispose of, transport or ship blood or OPIM.
OSHA defines the usage of these controls (i.e., sharps disposal containers, safer medical devices) as engineering and work practice controls. According to this method of precaution, ‘employers must select and implement appropriate engineering controls to reduce or eliminate employee exposure.’
