The School Health Compliance Program is designed specifically for schools, and is based on federal OSHA guidelines.
Employees simply log in to the online portal and complete the training at their convenience. The system will track who has completed training and who is due for training. When it comes time to repeat the annual training, an email notification will be sent 60 days in advance to remind the employer and/or the employee. Training records are saved for 3 years, as required by law.
Schools purchase training credits; the “cost” is one credit per trainee, per course completion. A credit is used as soon as a training is started.
The School Health Compliance program offers two choices, Bloodborne Pathogens in School and Bloodborne Pathogens for Healthcare.
The Bloodborne Pathogens in School training is written for non-medical school staff members. Some clinical information on bloodborne pathogens is not included because it is not relevant to this group. It provides a certificate of training after completion.
The Bloodborne Pathogens for Healthcare is ideal for nurses and medical professionals within a school setting. It provides a certificate of training that can be printed after completion ,which may be submitted to the state professional organization for CEU credit.
Both trainings are about 45 minutes in length. Does not have to be completed all in one session.
