2021 Blood Borne Pathogen Training

Whitman County is committed to providing a safe and healthful work environment for our entire staff.

All Whitman County Employees are required to view the Blood Borne Pathogen Training during new hire orientation.

Employees with job classifications in which potential occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens is identified are required to attend/view yearly refresher training.

The online training would take approximately 1 hour and can be completed over several sessions, meaning the presentation can be started, stopped and returned to.

Proof of completion is required. There is an quiz on the content at the end of the presentation, that will allow you to print a certificate of completion.
