Bloodborne pathogens
Just got a request from our Safety director to create a compliance program for all employees on how to handle bloodborne pathogens correctly. With all of the thousands of creative minds out there, I figure somebody has already done this. Anyone willing to sharing their work so I don't have to recreate the proverbial wheel?
Thanks!

Hi BJ,
At your company, do you use an LMS? If so, I would recommend looking at buying a bloodborne pathogen training course from a vendor. Companies like Skillsoft have a whole catalog of health and safety courses. In fact, you might be able to find a company that has produced a bloodborne pathogen training that is applicable for your particular agency.
I work for a state government prison agency and built a course that covered bloodborne pathogens, so it was really specific to our employee's work environment.

Thanks, Melanie. I'll look at Skillsoft. I've used them before. I've seen so many creative treatments for training through the forum I was hoping to get those juices flowing around this topic.

Hi BJ, I've done a Bloodborne pathogens course not too long ago. Here's the opening screen and if you like let me know and I'll dig out my source files. Let me know

Do you still have the source files for this course? Judging by the opening screen, it looks great!

Looks great Mike! I like it!

MIke, the opening screen looks great! I would love to see the source files if you have them readily available and don't mind sharing them. We haven't done any compliance training before and I would love to make it compelling for our employees to take.

BJ,
Have you looked into Rapid Course? We have a course pre-built in Articulate Studio on this topic (and are in the process of converting it into Storyline as well). Here is a link to the course information on the Rapid Course site: https://www.rapidcourse.com/Protecting-Against-Bloodborne-Pathogens.html.
The beauty of Rapid Course is that when you purchase the course, we give you all the source files so customizations are a snap! Want to brand the course for your needs? Add policies and procedures? No problem!
Please let me know if you have any questions at all, or would like to preview the course.
Thanks!

Thanks, Brooke. I was not aware that was even an option. It looks like I can preview the course from the link you gave me. I'll take a look.

If, at any time, you wish to preview the full course, please let me know. We are here to help when/if you need us!
Warmest regards,
