Every day, bloodborne pathogens are the result of infections by disease-causing microorganisms. There are specific actions and procedures that must be taken to comply with Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) Standards. These procedures make every workplace safer, but they are also necessary to keep every employee safe from risks of bloodborne pathogens. You might be wondering if you are at risk and what are the diseases that are most commonly transmitted through bloodborne pathogens? What do you do in an actual incident involving blood or body fluids? Does your facility have an exposure plan? How do you prevent the spread of these diseases? Participants attending this training will be able to answer these questions as well as identify the bloodborne pathogens of primary concern, list ways that bloodborne pathogens can enter a person's body, sequence the steps in proper removal of disposable gloves and select the most appropriate responses in an exposure incident simulation.
Course requirements to earn the CEU certificate include attending the online session, reading handouts, interactive questions, and passing a post knowledge assessment with a score of 90% or higher (multiple attempts allowed).

A bit about Karen Darby Karen is originally from a small town in northern West Virginia, she has 1 sister who currently lives in Orlando, Florida. Karen lives in Kings Mountain, North Carolina, which is in Cleveland County. Karen had a very small, private wedding ceremony on 2-22-2022, it was a Tuesday! She kept the name Karen Darby, for professional purposes. Karen has no children of her own but enjoys spending time with her husband's grown children and grandchildren. Karen's hobbies include anything outdoors, but at the top of her list are: swimming, walking hiking, biking, flower gardening, painting, and she is willing to try anything outdoors at least once. She is however, afraid of heights. In her spare time, Karen teaches an adult swimming class for the City of Shelby, she is a certified Aqua Fitness Instructor and certified Lifeguard and certified as a CPR/First Aid/AED instructor. Karen finds that she volunteers in the community and senior center on a frequent basis, but she loves to spend time with her dog!
