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.

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
