What Are Bloodborne Pathogens?
Bloodborne pathogens are microorganisms present in human blood that can cause disease.
This course focuses particularly on important occupational bloodborne infections.
Understanding how exposure occurs is essential because simply being near a person with one of these infections does not constitute occupational bloodborne exposure.
Who May Encounter Bloodborne Pathogens?
Occupational exposure is not limited to physicians or nurses.
Potential exposure can occur among:
- Physicians
- Nurses
- Medical assistants
- Phlebotomists
- Laboratory personnel
- Dental professionals
- Emergency responders
- Healthcare students
- Home-health workers
- Caregivers
- Housekeeping and environmental-services personnel
- Tattoo and piercing professionals
- Employees who provide first aid
- Other workers whose duties may involve blood or potentially infectious materials
Risk depends on the tasks performed and exposure involved, not simply the worker’s job title.

Practical Exposure Prevention
