Clean Hands · bloodborne pathogens training course
OSHA’s bloodborne pathogens standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030(g)(2), requires employers to train every employee with occupational exposure, at no cost, at initial assignment and at least once a year. Clean Hands is a 20–25-minute online training game in your practice’s brand that covers the fourteen required elements, A to N, with questions answered by a qualified trainer. Passing the quiz (8 of 10) gives a record of completion.
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.

OSHA’s bloodborne pathogens standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, applies to every employer whose employees have occupational exposure: contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials that can reasonably be expected in their job. In a dental office that usually includes dentists, hygienists, assistants and the staff who clean instruments and operatories.
The employer must provide training at no cost to the employee and during working hours (1910.1030(g)(2)(i)). The training must cover fourteen elements, listed as (A) to (N) in 1910.1030(g)(2)(vii), use content and vocabulary that fit the staff’s education, literacy and language (1910.1030(g)(2)(vi)), and be conducted by a person who knows the subject as it relates to the workplace (1910.1030(g)(2)(viii)).

This page is for employers: seats for your staff, the roster and each person’s due date. One person who needs a certificate for themselves buys a single seat on the bloodborne pathogens certification page.
Training records must include (1910.1030(h)(2)(i)):
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.

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.
Exposure, controls and protective equipment
The treatment room: which tasks can expose you to blood or saliva, what engineering controls and work practices do (and where they stop), and choosing, wearing and removing protective equipment.
Elements E, F, G, H
How pathogens spread; labels and color coding
Clean-up and the lab: how bloodborne pathogens are transmitted, and the biohazard labels, signs and color coding you will see on containers and waste.
Elements C, M
Exposure incidents and follow-up
A sharps injury: what to do first, whom to tell in your practice, how the incident is reported and the medical evaluation and follow-up the practice provides.
Elements J, K, L
The standard, the diseases, your plan and the vaccine
Where the standard’s text and your Exposure Control Plan are kept, the basics of the bloodborne diseases, and the hepatitis B vaccine your practice offers at no cost.
Elements A, B, D, I
A question button sits in the game and on the completion page. Every question goes to a qualified trainer, who answers within one business day; the trainer is named on your certificate and record, and each question and answer is logged on it.
The trainer of record is ours or yours: you choose at setup. A practice can also book an optional 15-minute live Q&A session with the trainer for its staff.
OSHA’s letters of interpretation on computer-based training stress that trainees should be able to get answers from a knowledgeable person. If you want questions answered while staff play, book the live session for the same time, or name your own trainer of record who is available then.
About 20–25 minutes, solo, on a laptop or a phone, nothing to install. Then a 10-question quiz: 8 right to pass, unlimited retakes, the best score is kept.

Sample only: Bayside Family Dental, Jane Doe, John Doe and Sam Doe are made up. The data we keep: staff names, job titles, scores and dates; no patient information is ever stored.
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.
Yes, if it covers elements A–N of 29 CFR 1910.1030(g)(2)(vii), and trainees can ask questions of a knowledgeable person (element N). OSHA’s letters of interpretation say self-paced training alone is not enough without that. Clean Hands has the Ask the trainer path, and you can book a live 15-minute Q&A session.
At initial assignment to tasks with occupational exposure and at least annually after that (1910.1030(g)(2)(ii)), each time within one year of the last training (1910.1030(g)(2)(iv)), plus additional training when new or changed tasks affect a person’s exposure (1910.1030(g)(2)(v)). The dashboard keeps each person’s due date.
Ours or yours: you choose at setup. The trainer’s name and qualifications are on every record, as 1910.1030(h)(2) asks; a qualified trainer answers the staff’s questions within one business day.
A record of completion per person (“Bloodborne Pathogens Training — Record of Completion”) with the date, a summary of the contents, the trainer’s name and qualifications, the person’s name and job title, the score and the next due date; a CSV export and a roster PDF. Keep them for 3 years (1910.1030(h)(2)(ii)).
The hepatitis B vaccination itself, your written Exposure Control Plan and your sharps injury log. The game explains each one and tells staff where to find yours; the practice provides and keeps them.
No. Your practice, as the employer, remains responsible for its bloodborne pathogens program: the written Exposure Control Plan, the hepatitis B vaccination, the sharps injury log, deciding who has occupational exposure, and keeping the training records. The game delivers and records the training part.
Staff names, job titles, scores and dates, so the records and the roster work. No patient information is ever entered or stored: the games use made-up patients and situations.
By card, or by purchase order and invoice. We send a quote first. The Practice Compliance Pass is $29 per staff member per year, minimum $349 per practice; $24 per seat for groups of 10 or more locations.
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 practice, as the employer, remains responsible for its bloodborne pathogens program: the written Exposure Control Plan, the hepatitis B vaccination, the sharps injury log, deciding who has occupational exposure, and keeping the training records.
