Bloodborne Pathogens
Ensuring workplace safety is critical for employees who may encounter infectious materials. OSHA mandates that businesses implement a bloodborne pathogens training program to protect workers from potential exposure and ensure compliance with federal regulations. At Compsolve, we provide comprehensive training to help your team stay informed, prepared, and safe.
Our bloodborne pathogens training program includes:
A complete overview of OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogens Regulation. This session educates employees on recognizing potential risks, understanding bloodborne diseases, and implementing preventive measures. Employees will also learn proper procedures for handling exposure incidents and using personal protective equipment (PPE). A Q&A session is included to ensure full understanding.
Every training session is documented with a sign-in sheet that includes employee signatures, trainer qualifications, and a summary of the topics covered. This record helps your business maintain OSHA compliance and track employee participation.
We create a written plan detailing the policies and procedures required under OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogens Regulation. This plan is tailored to your facility and designed to minimize exposure risks effectively.
Compsolve provides a complete biohazard cleanup kit for your facility. This kit ensures employees have the tools needed to safely manage biohazardous materials and clean up incidents according to OSHA standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, if exposure is "reasonably anticipated". Even in a factory, if certain employees are designated to provide first aid (like a First Responder Team) or if janitorial staff must clean up after machine accidents, you must have a written Exposure Control Plan.
This is the golden rule of BBP: Treat all blood and body fluids as if they are known to be infectious. You don't guess or wait for a medical record; you use the same high level of protection (gloves, masks, etc.) for everyone, every time.
Soap and water aren't enough. You must use an EPA-registered tuberculocidal disinfectant or a fresh solution of household bleach diluted between 1:10 and 1:100 with water.
Yes. If a worker is injured by a machine and blood gets into the internal components, the maintenance tech who later repairs that machine is at risk. Contaminated equipment must be labeled with a biohazard symbol and decontaminated before anyone services it.
Yes. In industrial settings, any sharp object contaminated with blood is a "sharp." This includes:
- Industrial sewing needles or tagging guns.
- Broken glass from a warehouse spill.
- Metal shards or scrap that caused an injury. These must be disposed of in puncture-resistant Sharps Containers, just like medical needles.
