Bloodborne Pathogens and Infection Control for the Funeral Service Provider

$99

with Dan Shea

Calendar Next available session starts Aug 29, 2025 at 10 am

This three-hour training program is designed to fulfill the bloodborne pathogen and infection control requirements for licensure or registration as a funeral director, embalmer, apprentice, or assistant. The course fully complies with all Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards pertaining to bloodborne pathogens in operatory and clinical settings.

Distinctively tailored to the funeral service profession, this course offers specialized instruction that exceeds the scope of generic bloodborne pathogen training commonly available to licensees and candidates. Its curriculum addresses the specific occupational risks faced in post-mortem environments while maintaining relevance to infection control practices in anti-mortem care.

Key topics include regulatory guidelines, standard and universal precautions, components of an effective infection control program, methods for preventing transmission, personal hygiene protocols, appropriate use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and a detailed overview of relevant infectious agents.

Course Format: This course is offered using Zoom.
