Bloodborne pathogens are viral, bacterial, or fungal microorganisms present in human blood that can cause disease, serious illness or death in humans.  During some work activities, wastewater treatment plant employees may come in contact with substances that contain bloodborne disease carrying pathogens.  Bloodborne Pathogens training provides essential information for individuals who may be exposed to blood and other potentially infectious materials in their work.  Bloodborne pathogens training covers how these pathogens are transmitted, how to prevent exposure, and what to do if exposed.

Learning Objectives
