Description

Healthcare workers and others who work with potentially infectious materials face a daily risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens — a risk that can be significantly reduced through proper training, precautionary practices, and the correct use of protective equipment. This course is built around OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard and CDC guidelines, providing learners with the foundational knowledge needed to minimize exposure risk and respond appropriately when incidents occur.
The course introduces learners to common bloodborne diseases — including HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C — and explains how they are transmitted in occupational settings. Learners will explore OSHA's requirements for exposure control, including the proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE), engineering controls, safe handling of sharps, and correct disposal of potentially infectious waste. The course also covers how to recognize warning labels, understand exposure control plan requirements, and respond effectively to emergency exposure incidents.
Upon completion, employees will have a clear understanding of their rights and responsibilities under OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard and the practical skills to protect themselves and their colleagues from exposure.
Best for
  • Nurses, physicians, medical assistants, phlebotomists, laboratory technicians, emergency responders, and surgical staff
  • Any employee who may come into contact with blood or potentially infectious bodily fluids in the course of their work.

Our Story: From Service Members to Service Providers

Evolve eLearning Solutions started in 2003 with a simple observation: compliance training didn’t have to be painful. Founded by veterans of the United States Marine Corps and Navy, we brought a service-first mentality to an industry that often felt like an afterthought.

In the military, training isn’t optional—it’s how you stay mission-ready. We saw organizations struggling with the same challenge: keeping teams trained, compliant, and confident without derailing daily operations. The solutions available were either overpriced, overcomplicated, or both.

So, we built something different. Training that respects people’s time. Support that actually solves problems. Pricing that makes sense for real budgets. No enterprise sales pitches, no feature bloat—just effective compliance training delivered by people who understand what it means to serve.

Two decades later, that approach hasn’t changed. We’ve grown from a handful of courses to a comprehensive library covering OSHA, HIPAA, HR/EEO, and more. But we’re still the same team that picks up the phone, remembers your name, and treats your compliance challenges like they matter—because they do.
