Henderson Community College is required by OSHA to present an American Heart Association annual bloodborne pathogen training to ensure that employees who are at risk for potential exposure to a bloodborne pathogen are fully informed of the work place practice controls, engineering controls, personal protective equipment and standard precautions on this campus. These are in accordance with the mandate from the OSHA Exposure Standard. In addition, the Standard by OSHA requires that HCC has procedures in place in the event of an exposure and maintaining an exposure control plan. This training will take place every spring and in the event of a newly hired employee. 

The elearning community of Bloodborne Pathogens is open and if you enrolled last year, you do not have to re-enroll.  Your names are already in the community. Just go in and click on the quizzes tab and next click on the pre-quiz tab and complete the pre-quiz. Next, go in and look at the power point that is located in the content area and open the link in this power point to view the hand washing video. Then secondly, go to the collaborate tab and click on it and go in and click on entering the room labeled "bloodborne pathogen" and view the collaborate video presentation. Next go back to the quizzes tab and click on the post quiz and complete this quiz. When you submit your answers to this quiz, you can click on "ok" and view your results and read the rationales for the answers. Last, I would ask that you complete an evaluation that is located in the quiz tab area so that I can assess if this way of training is effective and if there are areas that need improving. The evaluations are anonymous.

If you have any questions please amail marlena.buchanan@kctcs.edu or phone 19735. This training must be completed by midnight of June 30.
