Bloodborne Pathogens

• Training & Documentation

  At-Risk Employees

  Employees with a reasonably anticipated risk of exposure to blood or OPIM as a result of required occupational tasks are required by law to complete training annually. Register for the Bloodborne Pathogen learning track in Ability LMS. Work with your supervisor to determine the procedure for completing training. Some departments have trainers within their department; some departments take online training. Site-specific training must also be completed with your supervisor each year.
