Bloodborne pathogens certification
OSHA does not issue a bloodborne pathogens certification. What 29 CFR 1910.1030(g)(2) requires is training: every employer trains each employee with occupational exposure to blood, at initial assignment and at least once a year. Clean Hands, a 20–25-minute online game, delivers the training content and the record. Your Exposure Control Plan, the hepatitis B vaccination program and the trainer Q&A complete the requirement. Pass the quiz for a Certificate of Completion: $29.
Supports your training requirement under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030(g)(2).
Not an OSHA card. This is not the OSHA 10- or 30-hour Outreach program, and OSHA does not issue bloodborne pathogens, hazard communication or emergency action plan certificates.

Is there a bloodborne pathogens certification? (BBP certification)
Not from OSHA. OSHA does not issue bloodborne pathogens certificates or cards, and it does not certify trainers for this standard. What people call a bloodborne pathogens certification, or a BBP certification, is a certificate of completion from a training course.
The rule is about training: under 29 CFR 1910.1030(g)(2), an employer trains each employee with occupational exposure. If your employer or school asks you for a certificate, it is asking for proof that you completed bloodborne pathogens training, usually within the last year.
Bloodborne pathogens certificate online: how it works
- Play: Clean Hands, 20–25 minutes, on a laptop or a phone: the operatory, the lab and clean-up, a needlestick and the front office.
- Ask: a question button in the game and on the completion page; a qualified trainer answers within one business day; the trainer is named on your certificate and record. The question and answer are logged on your record.
- Pass: a 10-question quiz, 8 right to pass, unlimited retakes, the best score kept.
- Keep: your Certificate of Completion as a PDF, emailed and downloadable, with a verification page an employer can check (/verify/<id>).
- Training a team? per-practice pricing: the Practice Compliance Pass, $29 per staff member per year, minimum $349 per practice.
Bloodborne pathogens certification for tattoo and body art
Tattoo artists, piercers and other body-art workers are often asked by a state or county board for proof of bloodborne pathogens training. Many boards accept online training; some name the providers or the course content they accept, or ask for a specific number of hours.
Check with your state or county board before you buy. If your board needs something this course does not show, ask us first and we will tell you plainly.
Who must be trained, and how often
- Who: every employee with occupational exposure (1910.1030(g)(2)(i)). Front-desk staff who never handle instruments or patients may not have occupational exposure; your Exposure Control Plan lists the job classifications that do. You tell us which roles have exposure.
- When: at the time of initial assignment to tasks where exposure may take place, and at least annually after that (1910.1030(g)(2)(ii)).
- Within a year: each annual training must be within one year of the person’s previous training (1910.1030(g)(2)(iv)). The dashboard keeps a due date for each person.
- When tasks change: additional training when new or changed tasks or procedures affect a person’s exposure; it may cover only the new exposure (1910.1030(g)(2)(v)).
What records must be kept
Training records must include (1910.1030(h)(2)(i)):
- the dates of the training sessions;
- the contents or a summary of the training;
- the names and qualifications of the persons conducting the training;
- the names and job titles of everyone who attended.
They must be kept for 3 years from the date of the training (1910.1030(h)(2)(ii)). The records of Clean Hands carry all four items, plus the score, the edition of the game and the next due date for each person. You export them as CSV and as a roster PDF and keep them with your plan.
OSHA bloodborne pathogens training: what the training covers
Bloodborne pathogens training under 29 CFR 1910.1030(g)(2)(vii) has fourteen required elements, A to N. Clean Hands covers each one; the table below shows where.
What the game covers, element by element
| Element | What the training must cover | Where in Clean Hands |
|---|---|---|
| (A) | Access to a copy of the text of the bloodborne pathogens standard, and an explanation of what it says. | The Front Office |
| (B) | A general explanation of the epidemiology and symptoms of bloodborne diseases. | The Front Office |
| (C) | An explanation of how bloodborne pathogens are transmitted. | The Lab / Clean-up |
| (D) | An explanation of the practice’s Exposure Control Plan and how to get a copy of the written plan. | The Front Office |
| (E) | How to recognize tasks and other activities that may involve exposure to blood and other potentially infectious materials. | The Operatory |
| (F) | How engineering controls, work practices and personal protective equipment prevent or reduce exposure, and their limits. | The Operatory |
| (G) | Personal protective equipment: the types, proper use, where it is kept, how to remove, handle, decontaminate and dispose of it. | The Operatory |
| (H) | Why a given piece of personal protective equipment is chosen for a task. | The Operatory |
| (I) | The hepatitis B vaccine: how well it works, its safety, how it is given, its benefits, and that it is offered free of charge. | The Front Office |
| (J) | What to do, and whom to contact, in an emergency involving blood or other potentially infectious materials. | The Needlestick |
| (K) | What to do if an exposure incident happens, including how to report it and the medical follow-up that will be available. | The Needlestick |
| (L) | The post-exposure evaluation and follow-up the employer must provide after an exposure incident. | The Needlestick |
| (M) | The signs, labels and color coding the standard requires. | The Lab / Clean-up |
| (N) | A chance to ask questions and get answers from a knowledgeable person who conducts the training. | Ask the trainer |
The elements are paraphrased, not quoted. Elements D and J–L use your practice’s own details (where the plan is kept, the incident contact, the vaccine contact), which you give us at setup.
What the game does not cover
- The hepatitis B vaccination itself. The game explains the vaccine (element I); offering it and keeping the vaccination records (1910.1030(f)) is the practice’s job.
- Your written Exposure Control Plan. The game tells staff where it is kept and what it is for (element D); writing it and reviewing it every year (1910.1030(c)) is the practice’s job.
- The sharps injury log. The game shows how an injury is reported; keeping the log (1910.1030(h)(5)) is the practice’s job.

Questions
Is there an OSHA bloodborne pathogens certification?
No. OSHA issues no bloodborne pathogens certificates or cards. The standard (29 CFR 1910.1030(g)(2)) requires training; a BBP certification is the certificate of completion a training course gives you.
How long is a bloodborne pathogens certification good for?
OSHA asks for bloodborne pathogens training at least once a year, each time within one year of the last (29 CFR 1910.1030(g)(2)(ii) and (iv)), so a certificate is usually treated as good for one year. Ours shows the date to refresh by. An employer can set its own rule.
Can I get a bloodborne pathogens certificate online?
Yes. Play Clean Hands (20–25 minutes), ask the trainer anything, pass the quiz (8 of 10) and get a Certificate of Completion as a PDF: $29 for one person, $49 with the HazCom game.
Does it work for a bloodborne pathogens certification for tattoo artists?
Many state and county body-art boards accept online bloodborne pathogens training; some name the providers or content they accept. Check with your board before you buy.
Is OSHA bloodborne pathogens training the same at every job?
The fourteen required elements are the same. Some are specific to the workplace: where its Exposure Control Plan is kept, whom to call after an exposure and how it offers the hepatitis B vaccine. A single seat plays a fictional workplace, so your employer still tells you its own; when an employer sets up Clean Hands, the game uses its details.
What is the difference between bloodborne pathogens training and certification?
Training is what the rule requires; the certification people ask for is the proof that you completed it: a certificate of completion with your name, the date, the score and the trainer of record.
Does finishing the game cover everything the rule asks of us?
No. Your employer remains responsible for its bloodborne pathogens program: the written Exposure Control Plan, the hepatitis B vaccination, the sharps injury log and its training records. If you buy a seat for yourself, your employer decides whether it accepts this training (body-art workers: see the board note below). The game delivers and records the training part.
Does OSHA certify trainers or issue certificates?
No. OSHA does not certify trainers, and it does not issue bloodborne pathogens, hazard communication or emergency action plan certificates. Under these standards the employer trains its employees and keeps the records; a certificate of completion from a course shows that the training happened. The only OSHA cards are those of the voluntary Outreach Training Program (10- and 30-hour courses taught by trainers OSHA has authorized); this is not that program.
Your program stays yours. Your employer remains responsible for its bloodborne pathogens program: the written Exposure Control Plan, the hepatitis B vaccination, the sharps injury log and its training records. If you buy a seat for yourself, your employer decides whether it accepts this training (body-art workers: see the board note below).
