The content in this course is designed to comply with the intent of the applicable regulatory requirements. The training requirements established under the Bloodborne Pathogen standard require an employer to allow for an opportunity for interactive questions and answers with the person conducting the training session. Employers may use a variety of methods to meet the intent of the standard. As an example OSHA has previously stated that an employer can meet OSHAs requirement for trainees to have direct access to a qualified trainer by providing a telephone hotline.
