Q: Why should our institution or company
use this training?
A: By using this online BBP training module, the
training is offered on demand and more convenient for individual
users as they can be trained according to their schedule. Your company
or institution would not have to organize a training session and
schedule to allow all employees to attend. Alternate shifts, off
site, and telecommuting staff members can all meet their annual training
requirement and increase your compliance levels.

Q: What if I do not have any or handle
biological materials?
A: You still might have some potential for exposure
and would require training. For instance, housekeeping staff that
may come in contact with soiled linen, or instrumentation techs that
service medical equipement, or lifeguards that treat wounds, are
all examples of non-laboratory personnel that are at risk of exposure
to bloodborne pathogens.

Q: What
if I am in charge of clinical trials that take patient samples?
A: Handling human blood or other fluids/materials
falls under the Bloodborne Pathogen Standard and compliance is dependent
on knowing who and where these materials are handled. Even those
that package and ship patient samples would be required to be trained.
Naturally, all staff with direct contact of patient blood or OPIM
require annual training for compliance with the OSHA BBP Standard.

Q: How
much does your training cost?
A: Individual
training costs are $35 per person. However, non-profit organizations,
educational facilities, and group discounts do apply. For a more
direct quote, please contact us and we would be happy to assist you.

Q: How
would we pay for your training?
A: Currently, we are unable to accept credit card
payments. Once we have the names of all the personnel to be trained,
we would assign usernames and passwords and forward them along with
an invoice for the total amount. Checks would be made out to Midwest
Biosafety Consultants.

Q: Do
you keep any training records?
A: We do follow the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Standard
by keeping all training records for a minimum of three years. Records
are kept with redundant back ups electronically and are available
by request for instiutional review. This is one of many advantages
to using our training module as the responsibility of record keeping
is ours and not on you.

Q: Is this training compliant with
the OSHA BBP Standard?
A: All aspects of this training module fulfill
the requirements set forth in the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Standard.
Record keeping, subject material, current topics are all covered
within this module in a comprehensive fashion. Noteworthy is the
availability for questions to be answered as part of BBP training.
OSHA Compliance Officers have assured us that the use of elctronic
email and Contact Us messaging is an appropriate means of asking
questions and receiving replies. Questions or comments during normal
working hours are answered ASAP, while questions sent after hours
or on weekends may not receive an immediate reply. They will receive
a reply within 24 hours.
