TRAINING SCHEDULE
January – December 2009

It satisfies both the September 2000 Texas Department of State Health Services requirements for training in bloodborne pathogens, and the OSHA bloodborne pathogen training requirements [29 CFR 1910.1030(g)(2)(vii)]. It also provides an awareness level of the DOT requirements [49 CFR 173.199(e)] for shipping biological products and infectious substances.
New employees (including UT Health Science Center at San Antonio transfer employees), whose normal duties place them at risk of exposure to human blood and other potentially infectious materials including, blood products, tissues, or body fluids and human cell lines are required to attend this training prior to their initial assignment to those duties. Current employees working with these materials must attend this training annually, within one year of their previous training date.
