Bloodborne Pathogens Training Video

This bloodborne pathogens training video will help ensure your facility is OSHA compliant for training on the bloodborne pathogens standard for General Industry. Bloodborne pathogens can create a real health hazard in most any working environment, but they are often unavoidable when injuries occur. This Bloodborne Pathogen Training Video will give you and your employees a thorough understanding of pathogens and how they spread, as well as proper protocol for handling blood and other bodily fluids on the job.

Most employees think they are immune to Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV, or other bloodborne pathogen diseases passed by blood from one person to another. However, ALL employees can become exposed under some very common scenarios, such as:

1. Helping a co-worker who has an accident and is bleeding
2. Using a piece of equipment that has blood on it from a previous user who hurt themselves
3. Disposing of blood-contaminated waste materials

Workers face these types of scenarios every day and proper training will help them from contracting a bloodborne disease.
