Before you buy: what’s included, and what your office adds
How it works: self-paced online lessons with short videos and a quiz after each lesson. There is no live class or instructor. Learners can send a question to our trainers from any lesson (we answer within 2 business days) or call (916) 770-4050, Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm Pacific. Each person who passes gets a dated certificate of completion. It is not continuing-education (CE) credit.
Both standards require “an opportunity for interactive questions and answers with the person conducting the training session.” OSHA has said online training meets this only if a qualified trainer is available to answer questions at the time they come up.
Our trainer line, (916) 770-4050, is open Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm Pacific, and learners can send a question from any lesson. Your practice should still walk staff through its own exposure control plan and have someone qualified available while they train.
Who it’s for
- Dental assistants, hygienists, dentists, sterilization staff and anyone else with occupational exposure.
- Medical assistants, nurses and clinicians in outpatient practices.
- Office managers who run the practice’s exposure control plan and training records.
What OSHA requires, and how often
The OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030(g)(2), requires training at the time of initial assignment to tasks with occupational exposure and at least annually thereafter, within one year of the previous training. In California, Cal/OSHA’s standard, 8 CCR §5193, sets the same timing.
Training records must show the dates, a summary of the content, the names and qualifications of the trainers, and the names and job titles of the people trained. Keep them for three years (1910.1030(h)(2)).

A dated certificate anyone can verify
Dated, with a serial number
Each person who passes gets a certificate showing their name, practice, program, lessons completed, score and date. Lessons end with a short quiz; the pass mark is 80%.
Anyone can check it
An auditor, inspector or employer can confirm a certificate is genuine at hipaa.comodotechnology.com/verify, with no account and without contacting us.
Not CE credit
It is a certificate of completion: proof the training happened. It is not continuing-education credit and not an accreditation or license.
