The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has established
guidelines for the education of health care workers at risk of blood or body
fluid (BBF) exposure at work. Health care workers are required to have
training in handling BBF at the time of initial assignment and annually
thereafter. The following BID-Needham training module is part of the yearly
recertification for all staff. It includes training materials and a test for
certification of training consisting of 25 multiple-choice questions
relating to daily clinical activities and potential exposures.
To be certified, health care workers must:
Review information concerning bloodborne pathogens (HIV, hepatitis C &
hepatitis B) and exposure prevention.
Complete and pass a competency examination with a score of 80% or higher.
Once you have finished reading the training material; please complete the on
line quiz that demonstrates your understanding of this material.
Once you have completed all the questions, a score will be calculated.
If you passed the exam, the system will record your certification in a
central database.
You will receive an e-mail verifying that you have successfully passed the
exam.
If your score is not sufficient to pass the exam, you will be shown a link
to retake the test.
If you wish to complete your training off-line, please open and print our
PDF version of Blood Borne Pathogens (see link below), then take the exam. |
