Bloodborne Certification is effective for 1-2 years. Where Bloodborne Pathogen Prevention and Universal Precaution certification is required as part of daily job risks (Healthcare, Housekeeping, Tattooing) the renewal training and certification should take place annually. In auxiliary, where the training is provided in conjunction with bystander CPR and/or First aid training, renewal with these certification every two years (or less) is adequate, although interim refresher training is always recommended.
Corporate American CPR™ Certification cards state the renewal date should be in two years. Materials purchased by Independent instructors have a blank issue date for the instructor to assign as 1 year or 2 year. While corporate issues it for two years - that does not override the necessary renewal renewal of one year.
Per the American CPR™ Instructor Manual, we recommend that it is renewed yearly (page 122): "This information and training must be provided annually to all employees who may have occupational exposure to Bloodborne Pathogens. Also, all new employees and employees who are transferred from one department or area to another must be given this training if their new position will expose them to Bloodborne Pathogens in new or different ways".
How do I know if my client needs one year certification or two year certification?
BBP training will depend on the state and the organization/work regulations. We recommend you discuss this with the organization you are certifying. There are also state guidelines available online, and you can always call the Instructor Coordinators at ACT™ for additional support and guidance.
