For CNA and nurse aide training programs
Bloodborne pathogens certificates for your CNA students before clinicals
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
- CNA and nurse aide students before their first clinical rotation
- Phlebotomy, medical assistant and EMT students in the same program
- Program instructors and clinical coordinators who handle sharps or blood
Why
Clinical sites commonly list an annual bloodborne pathogens certificate with immunizations, CPR and a background check. The certificate usually needs the student's name, the training content, the completion date and the issuer.
OSHA has said students in a clinical setting are generally not the facility's employees, so the program and the clinical site set the requirement. Program staff who are employees with occupational exposure are covered by 29 CFR 1910.1030, which requires training at hire and every 12 months under paragraph (g)(2)(ii), covering the elements listed in (g)(2)(vii).
29 CFR 1910.1030(g)(2) also requires training material appropriate in content and vocabulary to the learner's education, literacy and language. Each student chooses English, Spanish or Amharic.
How seats work
- Buy a block of seats. One seat is one person.
- Invite each person by email from your dashboard, or hand out the seat codes.
- The dashboard shows who has finished, who is in progress, and each certificate number and retrain date. Export it as CSV for your records.
- Anyone can check a certificate by number at /verify.

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.
