Course: Employee Induction (DVD Only)

Cost: £75.00 plus VAT  |  Duration: N/A
The employee induction course has two principal objectives:
  • To create awareness amongst employees of the potential dangers associated with discharged body fluids.
  • To instruct what action should be taken if a body fluid discharge is encountered.
When these two objectives are satisfied the employer has satisfied a legal requirement for health and safety regarding bloodborne pathogens. The induction is normally carried out at the employer’s premises and overseen by a company appointed competent person. However, Biosafe can offer a service whereby all staff can be inducted simultaneously at our premises. The training course is via a DVD which is supplied with all the appropriate documentation. The course is visual / audio and requires the employee to complete a questionnaire during the playing of the DVD. Upon completion of viewing there are 25 tick box questions. Biosafe take responsibility for marking the paper and issuing a certificate of awareness and training if a pass is achieved. The areas of instruction / awareness include:
  • What is a body fluid discharge?
  • Why are body fluid discharges hazardous to health?
