Bloodborne pathogens training is: OSHA requires it at initial assignment and at least annually thereafter, within one year of the previous training. Other topics, such as hazard communication, are required at initial assignment and when new hazards are introduced rather than on a fixed annual schedule. Many facilities refresh everything annually to keep it simple.
+
No. OSHA training is required for all staff who face workplace hazards, including doctors, dentists, nurses, administrators, and part-time workers.
+
Yes, computer-based training can be part of a compliant program. For bloodborne pathogens, the training must also include an opportunity for interactive questions and answers with a knowledgeable person conducting the training, and employees still need site-specific instruction on your facility's procedures.
+
Core topics include bloodborne pathogens, hazard communication, personal protective equipment, emergency action plans, workplace violence prevention, and ergonomics and injury prevention. Training should match each employee's duties and exposure.
+
Often not. Offices of physicians, dentists, and other health practitioners, outpatient care centers, and medical and diagnostic labs are partially exempt, as are employers with 10 or fewer employees. Hospitals and nursing homes with more than 10 employees generally must keep 300 logs. Every employer must still report severe injuries.
+
All employers must report a work-related fatality within 8 hours, and a work-related in-patient hospitalization, amputation, or loss of an eye within 24 hours.
+
Employers required to keep OSHA injury records must post the 300A annual summary no later than February 1 of the following year and keep it posted until April 30.
