Offices that have 10 or more employees the training session will require 3½ hours. At that time we will provide the quarterly SB 198 safety training and the required annual Bloodborne Pathogen training, and review the contents of the Injury and Illness Prevention Plan. We will provide 3 CEU’s for the 3 hours of training. Only employees with exposure or possible exposure are required to attend the BBP training, but all must attend the SB 198 training.

Once we have completed our second visit and have provided the necessary training, we continue to work closely with you and your staff.
