The risk to bloodborne pathogen exposure is important to understand in both our professional and personal lives.  Ensuring that our employees receive training on how to handle potentially contaminated materials and cleanup of bodily fluid release in a safe manner is extremely important to our organization.  We strive to illustrate our commitment to our employee's safety by ensuring that each employee has the opportunity to get their questions answered so that when presented with this situation they are confident in their ability to respond.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's "Universal Precaution" approach should be the standard of each employee in our organization.  Understanding that when walking into a situation the employee should assume that they are at risk to exposure to bloodborne pathogens is the best way to ensure that the employee will take every precaution to minimize transmission.

The protective practices illustrated in this training provide a foundation for the mindset our team will adopt around the handling of bloodborne pathogen exposure.  Each employee will be expected to own the responsibility of minimizing transmission to bloodborne pathogens by following the personal safety guidelines in this training.  Each individual taking that responsibility ensures that the team will have a safety focused mindset and take active roles in mitigating bloodborne pathogen transmission.
