| Bloodborne pathogens are infectious microorganisms present in blood that can cause disease in humans. These pathogens include, but are not limited to, hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus that causes AIDS. Workers exposed to blood-borne pathogens are at risk for serious or life-threatening illnesses. OSHA’s blood-borne pathogens standards state what employers must do to protect workers who are occupationally exposed to blood or other potentially infectious materials (OPIM), as defined in the standard. The OSHA standard protects workers who can reasonably be anticipated to come into contact with blood or OPIM as a result of doing their job duties. This training will provide information required for an effective blood-borne pathogen control plan.
