International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Bloodborne Pathogens standard was revised by the Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act of 2000 to include safer medical devices and an exposure control plan. Pharmacists and others providing immunizations and/or point-of-care test involving blood have the potential to be exposed to a bloodborne pathogen and must meet the requirements of this standard, including annual live training, or risk facing fines. OPA is offering a webinar format for pharmacists and other employees to comply with this OSHA standard. The speaker will discuss potential bloodborne hazards, safer practices designed to reduce/avoid needlestick and other sharps injuries, and effective post-exposure procedures. This program will provide the opportunity for interactive questions.

If you administer immunizations and have not completed such a training within the last 12 months, now is your opportunity. The program fee is $45 and includes one hour (0.1 CEU) of CPE credit for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. At the completion of this activity, the participant will be able to:

1. Identify potential bloodborne pathogens and their mode of transmission
2. List the hepatitis B vaccination requirements for health care workers
3. Describe the engineering controls and work flow practices that can help minimize the risks of exposure
4. Identify the key components of an Exposure Control Plan
5. List the steps of an effective post-exposure plan

To accommodate various work schedules this webinar will also be offered:

• Tuesday, June 12th @ 11am EST
• Thursday, July 19th @ 11am EST
• Tuesday, August 14th @ 11am EST
• Tuesday, September 11th @ 11am EST
• Thursday, October 11th @ 11am EST
• Friday, November 16th @ 3pm EST
