This course is intended for individuals who will be teaching the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard to an adult audience. Students will learn presentation skills and the principles of teaching adults. Prerequisites It is recommended that students attend the one-day Bloodborne Pathogens course or have some familiarity with the topic before attending this instructor development course. Practical Requirement Students will be required to develop and present a 30-minute training program during this course. Occupational Risk Assessment This training is required for personnel whose job tasks involve: Handling human blood products, such as whole blood, plasma, serum, platelets, or white cells. Handling human body fluids such as semen, cerebrospinal fluid, vaginal secretions, joint fluid, pleural fluid, peritoneal fluid, pericardial fluid, or amniotic fluid. (Note: Urine, feces, vomit, tears, sweat, sputum, nasal secretions, and saliva are not covered.) Working with animals, such as primates that are infected with hepatitis B or other bloodborne pathogens, OR performing tasks where such animals are housed. Handling unfixed human tissue, organs, or primary cell strains? (e.g., tissues soaked in chemical preservatives such as alcohol or formaldehyde are "fixed"). Working with the hepatitis B virus or other bloodborne pathogens or with preparations, such as liquid solutions or powders containing the hepatitis B virus. Handling blood, blood products, body fluids, or unfixed tissues or organs of animals infected with the hepatitis B virus or other bloodborne pathogens. Handling sharp instruments such as knives, needles, scalpels, or scissors that have been used by others working with human blood or other potentially infectious materials to include human organs, tissue, or body fluids, OR used by others working with similar body parts and fluids from animals infected with the hepatitis B virus or other bloodborne pathogens. Entering areas where other individuals work with human or animal blood, body fluid, tissues, or organs that are infected with the hepatitis B virus or other bloodborne pathogens, and performing tasks where any of the previously mentioned body substances may come into contact with the laboratory worker's unbroken skin, broken skin, or mucous membranes. Performing tasks that may potentially result in the lab worker's exposed skin or mucous membranes coming in contact with human or animal blood, body fluids, organs, or tissues that are infected with the hepatitis B virus or other bloodborne pathogens. If your answer was YES to any of these questions, then you are considered to be at occupational risk of contracting HBV or other bloodborne pathogens.
