Over five million workers in health care related fields are at risk to exposure to bloodborne pathogens, such as the HIV virus and hepatitis B virus. Designed to meet the current OSHA training requirements, Bloodborne and Airborne Pathogens, Sixth Edition was designed to teach students how to prepare for potential occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials. The Sixth Edition also includes supplemental information on airborne pathogens, such as tuberculosis, and other unusual infectious diseases.

The National Safety Council's Bloodborne Pathogens course is designed to accommodate all training needs by being flexible in length, content, and instructional format. All instructors have access to exceptional instructional support materials including videos, slides, computerized tutoring, and instructor's manuals. Founded in 1913, the National Safety Council is a nongovernmental, not-for-profit, public service organization dedicated to the reduction of accidental deaths, injuries, and preventable illnesses.
