SAFETY TRAINING SESSIONS

INITIAL TRAINING

Every employee potentially exposed to human blood and other potentially infectious material (as described by the Health Center's Exposure Control Plan) must complete this training prior to accomplishing any task presenting such a potential exposure risk. These exposure determinations are made by the supervisor. For new employees, the initial Health Center Bloodborne Pathogen Training is completed as part of Health Center Orientation provided by the Organization and Staff Development Office. Once this initial requirement has been met, completion of an annual Refresher Session is mandatory.  Instructions on how to access the Annual Refresher Computer Based Training (for Hospital Staff only) can be found by clicking here.  Researchers need to take the Refresher Annual Bloodborne Pathogen Training power point presentation on our website.  Please review the slides and print/sign and date the certificate at the end of the presentation and send to Research Safety MC390.

(WARNING: Employees must not perform tasks with potential exposures to human blood and other potentially infectious materials until they have completed the initial training. Contact the Environmental Health and Safety Office (x2723) if assistance is needed.)
