Bloodborne Pathogens
Environmental & Occupational Safety Training
Introduction to Bloodborne Pathogens
Welcome to the Board of Regents' Environmental & Occupational Safety online training module on bloodborne pathogens.
This training module is intended for University System of Georgia employees and students who have the potential to be exposed to blood or other potentially infectious material. It is designed to provide a basic understanding of bloodborne pathogens, common modes of transmission, and methods of preventing exposure.
This training is introductory in nature. If your job responsibilities involve occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens you will need additional training that is specific to your work environment and work practices. You will also need to be given the opportunity to ask questions of the person conducting the training session.
