 On
December 6, 1991, The Occupational Safety and health Administration
(OSHA) promulgated a final rule entitled "Occupational
Exposure to Bloodborne Pathogens". The purpose of this
standard is to eliminate or minimize occupational exposure to
the Hepatitis B virus (HBV), Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV),
Hepatitis C virus (HCV), and other bloodborne pathogens. The
revised Bloodborne Pathogens and Needlestick Prevention Standard
requirements became effective April 18, 2001.
This annual retraining program was developed by the Department
of Environmental
Health and Safety to provide you with a review of exposure
control principles and practices as they relate to bloodborne
pathogens. This online course is intended to be an annual refresher
for those employees who have already attended the Bloodborne
Pathogen Training session. If you are a new employee, or have
not attended a BBP training session, please click here
for the current schedule.
The
annual retraining is mandatory for all IUPUI employees who
could be “reasonably anticipated” to face contact
with blood and other potentially infectious materials as the
result of performing their job duties, and are covered under
the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030).
The following is a partial list of who must be trained annually:
Physicians,
Nurses and Emergency Room Personnel
Orderlies,
Housekeeping Personnel, and Laundry Workers
Principal
Investigators and Research Personnel
Laboratory

Dentists

The
completion of this training and registration fulfills your
annual retraining requirements for bloodborne pathogens! We
will revise this training as needed in order to provide you
with the most current information available.
How
does it work?
The
online training is currently structured into 3 sections. The
training proceeds by reading the information and moving from
one page to another. Occasionally, you will be required to
answer some questions as they relate to the information provided.
Upon completion of all three sections, your compliance with
annual retraining requirements will be updated in our database.
