Biomedical Waste Training

The Florida Department of Health, F.A.C. 64E-16, requires any personnel who works in a Biological Safety Level 2 laboratory or in a laboratory which generates any solid or liquid waste presenting a threat of infection to humans to have Biomedical Waste Training.

This training is given along with the Bloodborne Pathogen Training.

Topics covered include:

Definitions of Biomedical Waste/Regulated Waste
Facility policies and procedures of mixed waste
Labeling, storage and containment of regulated waste
Enforcement and penalties involved in the regulation

Bloodborne Pathogen Training

Anyone who may have an occupational exposure to human blood, body fluid, tissues or human cell lines must receive this training, as required by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Standard.

This training is given along with the Biomedical Waste training.

Topics covered include:

Epidemiology, symptoms and the modes of transmission of bloodborne pathogens
FSU's exposure control plan
Hepatitis B vaccine, its efficacy, safety and method of administration
Methods to prevent or minimize occupational exposure
Post-exposure procedures and medical evaluations

All laboratory personnel who will be working in or who will have access to a Biological Safety Level 2 (BSL-2), Biological Safety Level 3 (BSL-3), or an Animal Biological Safety Level 2 (ABSL-2) laboratory must receive general training for working in these biosafety level laboratory facilities. This training is based on the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Guidelines for Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL) 4th Edition.
