Bloodborne Pathogens Awareness For Construction Workers - To The Point

If a construction worker is injured and bleeding while on the job, coworkers are at risk of being exposed to bloodborne pathogens. These are microorganisms that can cause diseases such as HIV or hepatitis. This online safety training course teaches constructions workers about the dangers of bloodborne pathogens, and how to protect oneself from exposure.

Viewers are taught about universal precautions, such as how to avoid contact with bleeding coworkers and potentially infected materials. They should report the situation so that trained personnel can be brought in to assist injured workers, dispose of contaminated materials, and decontaminate the area.

Workers who must be in contact with people who are bleeding, or in an environment that is potentially contaminated, should use barrier devices such as gloves and face shields. Routes of entry and the proper disposal of contaminated items are demonstrated.

Present this online safety training course to help your team protect themselves and one another from exposure to bloodborne pathogens at the job site.
