Question 1

How often is bloodborne pathogen training required?

Accepted Answer

OSHA requires initial training before an employee begins tasks with potential exposure, and refresher training at least annually — within 12 months of the previous session. Additional training is required when job tasks or procedures change.

Question 2

Can bloodborne pathogen training be done online?

Accepted Answer

Yes. OSHA does not require in-person training for bloodborne pathogens. Online training is accepted as long as it covers all required topics under 29 CFR 1910.1030 and employees have the opportunity to ask questions.

Question 3

What is the difference between bloodborne pathogens training and first aid training?

Accepted Answer

Bloodborne pathogens training specifically focuses on preventing exposure to infectious diseases transmitted through blood and body fluids. First aid training covers a broader range of emergency response skills like CPR, wound care, and medical emergencies. Many workplaces require both.

Question 4

Do I get a certificate after completing the training?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After passing the final exam with a score of 80% or higher, you can immediately download a PDF certificate of completion. Each certificate includes a unique verification number, your name, date of completion, and exam score.

Question 5

Is this training valid for Minnesota workplaces?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Minnesota is a federal OSHA state, meaning it follows federal OSHA standards, including 29 CFR 1910.1030. Our training meets all federal OSHA requirements, so it is fully valid for Minnesota workplaces.
