About the course
What this course covers.
A bloodborne pathogen is a microorganism carried in blood or body fluids, and a single exposure can pass on a serious, lifelong disease. For a worker who may encounter blood on the job - in first aid, in cleanup, in any role where an injury can happen near them - knowing how exposure works is the difference between a near miss and an infection.
The course covers what bloodborne pathogens are and why they are so harmful to the body, the types of disease that can occur from exposure, including hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV, and how bloodborne pathogens are spread - how a worker can be exposed and how serious contamination occurs in a workplace. It is designed to get a learner CSA and CCOHS compliant and meets the requirements for the classroom portion of bloodborne pathogens training.
Companies use the course to train workers who may be exposed to blood or body fluids and to give a documented training record an auditor or a contractor pre-qualification platform looks for.

What learners say
Trusted by Canadian crews
We assign this to our first aid attendants and cleanup crews. It explains how exposure actually happens, which is the part workers underestimate.

Safety Coordinator
Clear on the diseases and the routes of exposure. Our auditor accepts it as the classroom training record.

Solid refresher. The section on how contamination spreads in a workplace changed how careful I am with cleanup.

Certificate and format
How the course runs
Your certificate
Testing runs throughout the course and a mark of 80 percent earns the certificate; the course can be taken up to three times to reach the pass mark. On completion the worker downloads and prints a certificate of completion valid for one year from the completion date.
- Fully online and self-paced - about 120 minutes of content
- Designed to meet CSA and CCOHS compliance standards
- Mobile-friendly - start on a laptop, finish on a phone
- Printable reference materials available online
- Pass mark is 80 percent, with up to three attempts
Why it matters for compliance
Occupational health and safety legislation requires that workers exposed to bloodborne pathogens are trained on the hazard, and the certificate is typically renewed yearly. This course meets the classroom training requirement and provides the documented record a COR auditor or a contractor pre-qualification platform looks for.
