Tier 1’s Bloodborne Pathogens course is designed to educate employees on the risks and prevention methods related to bloodborne pathogens such as HIV, hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV), and syphilis. These pathogens can be transmitted through bodily fluids and pose a significant health risk in various workplace environments.

The course is broken down into four detailed chapters:

• Fundamentals of Bloodborne Pathogens – Understand the nature of bloodborne pathogens and their potential impact on human health.
• Transmission and Exposure Prevention – Learn how these pathogens spread and the measures you can take to prevent exposure in the workplace.
• Handling Sharps and Biohazardous Materials – Safely handle needles, cuts, and other sharp instruments to avoid contamination.
• Exposure Incidents – Understand how to respond in the event of an exposure to bloodborne pathogens, including immediate actions and reporting procedures.

By completing Tier 1’s Bloodborne Pathogens training, employees will gain the knowledge and tools needed to minimize the risk of exposure, ensuring a safer workplace. The course emphasizes the importance of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), safe work practices, and proper workplace design to eliminate these potential hazards effectively.
