Bloodborne Pathogens (BBP)

This course provides an overview of bloodborne pathogens (BBPs) and lays out the objectives of regular BBP training. We guide you through an ‘exposure control plan’ (ECP) that directs healthcare workers’ response to pathogens.

This course for Bloodborne Pathogens training for those working in conditions where you may be exposed to pathogens or infectious material will ensure your knowledge and understanding of the important pieces of CDC, HIPAA, and OSHA requirements, standards, and regulations.
