Course Registration

On December 6, 1991, the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board adopted the Bloodborne Pathogen Standard, Title 8: General Industry Safety Orders, Article 109, Section 5193. This Standard was revised in 1999 and again in 2001.

The scope and application of this standard applies to all occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials.

The Standard requires that all employees with occupational exposure participate in a training program at the time of initial assignment to tasks where occupational exposure may take place and at least annually thereafter.
