The OSHA HIV Bloodborne Pathogens (BBP) Annual Update Online Course provides essential training for workers who may be exposed to blood or other potentially infectious materials (OPIM) in the workplace. Designed to meet OSHA’s annual training requirement under 29 CFR 1910.1030, this course reinforces critical knowledge needed to reduce occupational risk and maintain a safe work environment.
Participants will review foundational concepts related to bloodborne pathogens, including HIV, HBV, and HCV, and learn how these infections are transmitted. The course provides detailed guidance on engineering controls, safe work practices, and the elements of an effective Exposure Control Plan (ECP). Learners will explore the proper selection, use, and disposal of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and examine real-world scenarios such as needlestick injuries and mucosal exposures.
This comprehensive training also covers post-exposure procedures, medical follow-up, OSHA reporting requirements, and HIV-specific considerations such as post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). Participants will gain an understanding of recordkeeping standards, sharps injury logs, and annual training expectations to maintain compliance.
Ideal for healthcare professionals, first responders, and employees in high-risk environments, this course equips learners with practical skills to prevent exposure, respond appropriately to incidents, and uphold workplace safety standards.
