The big three in the workplace are hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV), and HIV. Exposure can happen through needlesticks, cuts from contaminated sharps, or contact between blood and broken skin, eyes, nose, or mouth. &#8220;Other potentially infectious materials&#8221; (OPIM) include certain body fluids and anything visibly contaminated with blood. Curious how long these pathogens last outside the body? See <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplecpr.com\/online-cpr-blog\/how-long-do-bloodborne-pathogens-survive-on-a-surface\/\">how long bloodborne pathogens survive on a surface<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_OSHAs_Bloodborne_Pathogens_standard_requires\"><\/span>What OSHA&#8217;s Bloodborne Pathogens standard requires<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The federal rule is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/laws-regs\/regulations\/standardnumber\/1910\/1910.1030\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">29 CFR 1910.1030<\/a>. It applies to employees with &#8220;occupational exposure,&#8221; meaning reasonably anticipated contact with blood or OPIM as part of their job duties. For those employees, the standard requires employers to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Provide training<\/strong> at no cost to the employee and during working hours (1910.1030(g)(2)(i))<\/li>\n<li><strong>Train at initial assignment<\/strong> and <strong>at least annually<\/strong> after that (1910.1030(g)(2)(ii))<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maintain a written Exposure Control Plan<\/strong> (1910.1030(c)(1))<\/li>\n<li><strong>Offer the hepatitis B vaccine<\/strong> at no cost to exposed employees (1910.1030(f))<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keep training records for 3 years<\/strong> (1910.1030(h)(2))<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The standard also lists what training must cover, including an explanation of the employer&#8217;s own exposure control plan and an opportunity for interactive questions and answers with the person conducting the training (1910.1030(g)(2)(vii)).<\/p>\n<p>That last point matters for honesty about online training. An online course covers the general content: how pathogens spread, standard precautions, PPE, safe sharps handling, cleanup, and what to do after an exposure. Your employer then adds the site-specific pieces: walking you through its exposure control plan and making someone available to answer your questions. Many employers use an online course for the core training and handle the site-specific portion in person.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_needs_bloodborne_pathogens_training\"><\/span>Who needs bloodborne pathogens training?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3>Healthcare and dental<\/h3>\n<p>Nurses, CNAs, medical assistants, phlebotomists, lab techs, EMTs, home health aides, and dental assistants and hygienists are the classic examples. Dental teams in particular often need BBP alongside BLS; see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplecpr.com\/online-cpr-blog\/what-cpr-class-to-take-for-dental-assistants-a-comprehensive-guide\/\">what CPR class to take for dental assistants<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Tattoo, piercing, and body art<\/h3>\n<p>Artists and piercers work with needles and blood every day. Many state and local health departments require BBP training for body art licenses or shop permits, and the requirements can be specific about content and renewal. Check with your local health department.<\/p>\n<h3>Janitorial, housekeeping, and maintenance<\/h3>\n<p>Custodians, hotel housekeepers, and maintenance workers may handle needles in trash, clean up blood spills, or empty sharps containers. When cleanup of blood or OPIM is part of the job, BBP training is expected.<\/p>\n<h3>Schools and childcare<\/h3>\n<p>School nurses, coaches, special education staff, and daycare workers can be exposed during first aid, nosebleeds, or injuries on the playground. Many schools designate staff who handle first aid and train them in BBP. See <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplecpr.com\/online-cpr-blog\/cpr-certification-for-teachers-coaches-childcare\/\">CPR certification for teachers, coaches, and childcare workers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Designated first aid responders<\/h3>\n<p>Employees designated to give first aid at work can have occupational exposure.

Some licensing agencies have their own schedules.<\/p>\n<h3>Who pays for bloodborne pathogens training?<\/h3>\n<p>For employees with occupational exposure, OSHA requires the employer to provide training at no cost and during working hours. People who need BBP for a license, a job application, or a self-employed business often buy it themselves.<\/p>\n<h3>Is online BBP training accepted?<\/h3>\n<p>Many employers and licensing agencies accept online BBP training for the core content. Because OSHA requires training on your employer&#8217;s own exposure control plan and an opportunity for interactive questions and answers, your employer will usually add a site-specific portion. Tattoo and body art licensing rules vary, so check with your local health department.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does the course take?<\/h3>\n<p>About 30 minutes, and you print your certificate as soon as you pass.<\/p>\n<h3>Is BBP the same as CPR?<\/h3>\n<p>No. BBP training is about preventing infection from blood and body fluids.
