Heartsaver Bloodborne Pathogens Certification Course

The Heartsaver Bloodborne Pathogens course teaches students how to protect themselves and others from being exposed to blood or blood-containing materials. This course is designed to meet Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements for bloodborne pathogens training when paired with site-specific instruction. Reflects science and education from the American Heart Association Guidelines Update for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC).

Who should take this course?

This training is geared for anyone that might have reasonably anticipated contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials while on the job. OSHA’s standard for bloodborne pathogens, or BBP for short, discusses exposure control plans and preventative measures. Employers must offer this training on initial assignment, at least annually thereafter, and when new or modified tasks or procedures affect a worker’s occupational exposure. By the end of this training, we want you to have a good understanding of what bloodborne pathogens are, where they are found, how transmission occurs and… we want you to remember one very important rule that can keep you safe.

The AHA Heartsaver Bloodborne Pathogens Course is designed for anyone with a reasonable chance of coming into contact with bloodborne pathogens such as: Correctional Officers, Childcare workers, Security guards, Maintenance workers, School personnel, Hotel housekeepers, Health and fitness club staff, and Tattoo artists.

Exceeds OSHA requirements for Bloodborne Pathogens Training.
