[MCOH-EH] BBP Training for Staff

[Kathy.Dayvault at dekalbmedical.org]

Travel RNs and Contractors have to show proof of education regarding BBP 
training.

In the event of an exposure, we would pay for the initial care and then 
follow up care is at the discretion of their agency/employer.

Thanks,

This sounds like another example of the battle between the right thing, 
the expedient thing, and what you can get away with. The correct answer 
has to be that they need the training necessary to protect themselves, and 
lets not forget, to protect others. I cannot think of a safety rationale 
for not providing necessary training. Yes not getting cited is important, 
but it leads to "I only do it cause they make me".

Hello,

What are other health care organizations doing about training Travelers 
(temporary workers) who will have potential for BBP exposure on the job?  
Do you include them in initial new hire training as required by the BBP 
Standard that covers employees or do you exclude them because they are 
non-employee status?

My opinion is that you still need to provide training to cover information 
for your organizations BBP Exposure Control Plan and other required 
topics.  How your organization handles BBP exposures and follow-up may be 
different from another organizations process, etc.

Do you have information or experience to share about this population of 
workers regarding regulatory training and potential/actual citations for 
not providing it.

Thanks in advance,

Therese
