This course is designed to meet OSHA requirements for bloodborne pathogens training when paired with site-specific instruction. AHA™s course uses the PACT acronym (Protect, Act, Clean, Tell) and slogan, "Make a PACT, Know How to Act" to help students learn and easily recall bloodborne pathogens training. Students learn how to:

• Protect themselves from blood or blood-containing materials.
