If you work in an environment where you are likely to come into contact with blood, then you must know how to take care of yourself so that you can avoid getting any diseases from it. This is why OSHA bloodborne pathogens training is so crucial.
Enhanced Safety
Completing proper training significantly reduces the risk of exposure to diseases present in infected blood, as well as minimizing the likelihood of accidents that could lead to potential exposure. There is also the fact that you will be well aware of the potential hazards that are present in your workplace.
Regulatory Compliance
Many government regulations must be adhered to when working with blood or in an environment where direct contact with blood is possible. To ensure that all employees are following these rules to the letter of the law, enrolling in and completing OSHA bloodborne pathogens training should be mandatory. This also allows you to avoid large penalties or even closure that can result from regulatory defiance.
Reduce Your Liability
When employees are highly trained to handle blood or exposure to blood safely and professionally, you are decreasing your liability as well as your chances of being sued by employees or others who may become sick because of mishandling.
