Occupational Exposure to Blood borne Pathogens
Training

To all employees,

 

On December 6, 1991, OSHA published the “Occupational Exposure to Blood borne Pathogens” Standard whose purpose was to eliminate or minimize occupational exposure to the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and other blood borne pathogens that employees may encounter.

 

In response to OSHA’s Blood borne Pathogens Standard, Mental Health Systems feels it is important for all employees to know about blood borne pathogens and understand the hazards of being a “Good Samaritan” or a first responder on the scene of an accident.

 

Mental Health Systems requires all employees be trained on Blood borne Pathogens. 

Our workers’ compensation company, The Zenith, has provided us a free online training.  Before taking the Blood borne Pathogen training, you must read “The Zenith Disclaimer.”  Below are instructions on how to read the disclaimer and complete the training.  Please complete the training before February 15, 2009.

 

If you have completed the Blood borne Pathogen training within the past year, you do not need to complete the training again until one full year has passed.
