Bloodborne Cert

For Tattoo and piercing studios

Bloodborne pathogens training for your studio's artists and piercers

Buy a block of seats, invite people by email, and see who has finished on one page. About an hour per person, online, in English, Spanish or Amharic.

Who needs the training

Why

Studios with employees are covered by 29 CFR 1910.1030. Each employee with occupational exposure must be trained at hire and every 12 months under (g)(2), at no cost and during working hours.

County and state body-art rules add their own training requirement. The course includes a body art module on single-use needles and ink, barriers, instrument cleaning and sterilization, and exposure response.

State rules. In Colorado, counties license body art. Boulder County requires proof of a bloodborne pathogens course within 60 days of hire; Arapahoe County requires an approved course within 90 days and keeps an approved-course list. Bloodborne Cert has not been approved by name by any Colorado county. California and Florida require longer courses from approved providers; this course is not accepted for tattoo licensing there.

What stays with you

The course covers the training elements in 29 CFR 1910.1030(g)(2)(vii). Your written exposure control plan, training on your own site specifics, and access to a knowledgeable person for questions remain the employer's responsibility.
