Infection control and workplace safety are responsibilities shared by every clinician, yet many professionals receive only limited training on the standards that protect both employees and the individuals they serve. Understanding bloodborne pathogen requirements, employer responsibilities, and proper infection control procedures is essential for maintaining a safe workplace and remaining compliant with OSHA regulations. This course provides a practical review of the standards every clinician should know and apply in daily practice.

Join Dr. Kathleen Weissberg, a nationally recognized educator and National Director of Education for Select Rehabilitation, as she breaks down OSHA requirements into clear, actionable guidance. Through case examples and real world scenarios, participants will learn best practices for personal protective equipment, handwashing, handling contaminated materials, record keeping, and more.
