DE0681: IHS Monthly CDE Webinar: Annual OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen and Hazard Communication Standards Training [Recorded Webinar]
OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard [29 CFR 1910.1030] requires employers to provide information and training to workers. Employers must ensure that their workers receive regular training that covers all elements of the standard including, but not limited to: information on bloodborne pathogens and diseases, methods used to control occupational exposure, hepatitis B vaccinations, and medical evaluation, including post-exposure follow-up procedures. Employers must offer this training on initial assignment, at least annually thereafter, and when new or modified tasks or procedures affect a worker's risk of occupational exposure.
In order to ensure chemical safety in the workplace, information about the identities and hazards of the chemicals must be available and understandable to workers. OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard [HCS] requires the development and dissemination of such information:
Chemical manufacturers and importers are required to evaluate the hazards of the chemicals they produce or import, and prepare labels and safety data sheets to convey the hazard information to their downstream customers;
All employers with hazardous chemicals in their workplaces must have labels and safety data sheets for their exposed workers, and train them to handle the chemicals appropriately.
Upon completion of this webinar, participants should be able to:
1. Describe the key elements an exposure control plan;
2. Define the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard; and
3. List the procedures to implement following a needlestick injury.
