In order to keep your medical clinic in compliance with OSHA bloodborne pathogen regulations as well as keeping your medial staff safe, it is necessary to go through a short course on handling bloodborne pathogens. There are many companies associated with OSHA that will provide either online training for your employees or come to your clinic to conduct a workshop which will provide training and certification.

Many companies will “bundle” or combine different training sessions concerning bloodborne pathogens as well as other precautionary training for just one fee and in just one session. You do need to check out the availability and best options for your staff.

– Bloodborne pathogen training must conform to OSHA guidelines. Companies who train on bloodborne pathogen regulations must offer certificates that are accepted by every health clinic, hospital, and network.

– Choose a company that offers certificates accepted by major hospitals, military concerns, and clinics.

– One company that you might consider is found online and brags that it is responsible for training Massachusetts General Hospital medical and non-medical employees as well as the U.S. Air Force medical force.

– Make sure your training company for bloodborne pathogens contains easy to understand lessons, andprovides videos as well as worksheets and notebooks that can be kept in the officer for easy reference.

– Find a company that believes in their own training materials and methods. This company should also offers a money back guarantee if you are not fully satisfied or staff is not adequately trained.

– In the bloodborne pathogen training schedule make sure that the following components are available.

o BBP11: Bloodborne pathogen training overview and actual training.

o HP11: Universal Precautions training.

o ICE2: Final Exam on all material read, listened to and discussed.

o Certificate of Completion. Every employee needs to have a completed certificate to put both in their human resource file and to keep with them in the event of a job change.

o Certificate expires in one year. Do not allow your training schedules for bloodborne pathogens to go beyond one year.

o The course itself should last no more than 45 minutes. Thirty-five minutes is best. Of course, you should also be able to review and retake the certification tests if needed.

– Every bloodborne pathogen training course should keep your staff compliant with all the rules and regulations that is required by OSHA.

– Watch and listen to videos that give overviews of staff, single user and administration training. Allow your staff to train on their own if necessary.

– Keep your staff on the job by allowing for easy sign in and learning. Make sure the testing is adequate and simple to follow.

It is also a great idea to keep individual test scores private and password protected. Your staff needs to know that their information is private and their certificates and scores are not available to everyone. You do need to protect your health care clinic against fraud and make sure all employees are aware of who is “expert” in bloodborne pathogen handling.
