Key Features

Available in English and Spanish CD-ROM versions.

The "Bloodborne Pathogens in Healthcare Facilities" Interactive CD-ROM Training Course ... recently revised and updated to incorporate the latest medical language and needlestick guidelines... has been specifically created to assist facilities in fulfilling the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard's (29 CFR Part 1910.1030) training requirements. Bloodborne diseases are a serious concern in the United States.

"Hepatitis B" infects over 70,000 people annually, and has over one million "carriers" in the U. S. The HIV virus, which usually leads to AIDS, currently infects over one million people. Because of the increasing problems with these diseases, in 1991 OSHA passed a "Bloodborne Pathogens" regulation.

Areas covered in the Course include the contents of the Standard, epidemiology and symptoms of Bloodborne diseases, modes by which Bloodborne diseases are transmitted, the exposure control plan, recognition of exposure situations, practices to prevent exposure, HBV vaccine, emergency procedures, signs and labels, selection and use of personal protective equipment, and more. Using a powerful combination of audio, full-motion video, text and colorful graphics, this Course provides the most cost-effective Safety and Regulatory Compliance training available today.

The Course features platform software which installs automatically, and comprehensive User's and Trainer's Guide. The Course is divided into a number of logical sections so information is easily understood... and retained. Also designed with the Training Manager in mind, all Courses in The Interactive CD-ROM Training Library include a Training Management System (at no additional cost). Using this System, trainers can set up "Pre" and "Post" tests... establish log-in procedures... even define and set up curriculum for various job classes. The System also collects and organizes employee performance information through a powerful relational database, which can generate a number of record-keeping and tracking reports... and has a database "import/export" feature, which allows information to be transferred to and from an external database (such as a company's Personnel Database and/or Learning Management System).

The objective of the "Bloodborne Pathogens" Interactive CD-ROM Training Course is to assist facilities in fulfilling the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard's (29 CFR Part 1910.1030) training requirements.
