Infectious Disease & Exposure Control Training

About Our Infectious Disease & Exposure Control Training Courses

Infectious disease and exposure control training covers workplace safety programs focused on identifying, preventing, and responding to biological hazards that can spread through blood, airborne particles, or surface contact. These courses are designed to reduce occupational health risks in environments where workers may encounter infectious agents as part of their job duties.

Courses in this category address disease transmission principles, exposure mitigation strategies, and workplace health protection practices across multiple industries. Rather than a single standalone program, this collection includes training tailored to specific biological hazards, disease types, and occupational settings.

Who Is Required to Take Infectious Disease & Exposure Control Training Courses?

Infectious disease and exposure control training may be required based on workplace hazards, job duties, and applicable OSHA standards when employees perform occupational tasks that may involve contact with blood, other potentially infectious materials (OPIM), airborne pathogens, or contaminated surfaces. Employer hazard assessments and applicable OSHA standards determine which workers require this training.

Job roles where infectious disease and exposure control training is commonly required include:

• Healthcare Workers, Nurses, and Medical Assistants
• Phlebotomists and Laboratory Technicians
• First Responders, EMTs, and Firefighters
• Janitorial, Housekeeping, and Sanitation Personnel
• Maintenance Workers
• School Health Staff
• Correctional Officers
• Employees Handling Regulated Waste or Contaminated Materials

Infectious Disease & Exposure Control Training Course Certificates & OSHA Requirements

Training requirements for infectious disease and exposure control depend on workplace-specific hazards and may be driven by OSHA standards, employer policies, or industry guidance related to biological and airborne risks. Because no single OSHA standard governs all infectious disease training, applicable requirements vary by course topic and work environment.

Learners receive a certificate of completion provided by the training provider for documentation purposes upon finishing each course. Employers are responsible for determining training frequency, maintaining records, and managing workplace safety programs and regulatory responsibilities. OSHA does not issue individual certifications.

The courses in this category are awareness-level training only and do not provide regulatory authorization or certification.
