• Employee Training:

Prior to assignments when potentially exposed to new materials and when assigned to new work tasks.

Specific employee training will be determined/identified by Management. This training will be designed to address department and task specific compliance and BBP prevention requirements.

Employees attending or receiving training mandated by this Program shall sign attendance sheets and actively participate in the training.

• Exposure risk determination refers to the process of assessing an employee’s exposure to blood borne pathogens on the job.  Job titles and job descriptions of employees were analyzed by the SBCCD Office of Human Resources to determine the potential for occupational exposure to blood and/or infectious materials.
• Exposure risks are categorized as regular exposure (Category I), occasional exposure (Category ll), or non-exposure (Category Ill). Job titles and job descriptions of employees with the potential for occupational exposure to blood, infectious materials (as defined above) or regulated wastes are identified in Appendix D of the BBP Written Program. 

• To effectively minimize exposure to bloodborne pathogens, the biohazard warning labeling system is in use. Contact District Safety and Risk Management Office at (909) 382-4040 for guidance on biohazard warning labeling and disposal.
