BLOODBORNE PATHOGENS

The following Bloodborne Pathogens Training meets the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, which was adopted by the New Jersey State Public Employees Occupational Safety and Health (PEOSH) Program. Training must be provided at the time of the emergency responder’s initial employment and at least annually thereafter.

The standard requires that emergency responders have access to a qualified trainer while taking on-line training to allow for interactive questions and answers, if needed. This requirement can be met via telephone contact or through email only if the trainer is available to answer emailed questions at the time the questions arise (e.g., live chat). It is the responsibility of each department’s/agency’s chief executive to provide their members with the name, contact information and work hours of the qualified trainer designated to assist with any questions.

The standard also requires that emergency responders are provided with an explanation of the department’s/agency’s written exposure control plan, as well as the means by which members can obtain a written copy. It is the responsibility of each department’s/agency’s chief executive to provide this information to its members. It is critical that each emergency responder knows what to do in the event of an exposure and to be able to articulate their department’s/agency’s exposure control plan.

If the emergency responder has questions relating to any training or modifications made to existing procedures, they should consult with their designated qualified trainer, supervisor, and/or appropriate legal advisor.
