Bloodborne Pathogens For Construction (40 Minutes)

The Bloodborne Pathogens for Construction online safety course from Clicksafety addresses the highly infectious nature of bloodborne pathogens and illnesses transmitted via contact with blood. Because accidents on the construction site may potentially carry serious risks beyond the initial incident, this course teaches individuals to be aware of how to avoid the spread of disease, as well as the appropriate response to exposure thereof.

Participants of the Bloodborne Pathogen Awareness for Construction course will learn the necessary training needed for the construction industry to ensure a safe and healthy work environment for all.

ClickSafety’s online Bloodborne Pathogens for Construction course is designed to help participants identify the hazards associated with bloodborne pathogens and offers an overview of OSHA’s standards for job safety regarding bloodborne pathogen risk. Specific course topics include the following:

• Overview of common bloodborne pathogens, including HIV, HBV, HCV, and AIDS
• Transmission of bloodborne pathogens, including accidents, CPR, and more
• Exposure prevention and control
• Best practices following exposure
• Common incidents and accidents that may lead to bloodborne pathogen exposure
• Proper use of necessary personal protective equipment (PPE)
• Other potentially infectious materials.

Participants of the course are encouraged to review the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) references, as well as OSHA bloodborne pathogen Standard 29 CFR 1910.1030 for additional information about bloodborne pathogens and related job safety topics.
