It is important to realize that anyone can be exposed to bloodborne pathogens in the workplace or in public, and these viruses can lead to serious diseases. You may have heard of some of the most common diseases that are transferred by direct contact with contaminated blood, which includes: HIV, Hepatitis B & Hepatitis C. The people who are exposed to these diseases can risk being infected by the disease, such as a nurse working in a patient population, or someone who works with needles in the healthcare environment. With the help of a blood borne pathogen class, individuals can learn the Occupational Safety and Health Administration requirements for staying safe in workplace environments with the proper bloodborne pathogens training.
