Which organization requires a written training program for blood borne pathogens?

The requirement for a written training program for bloodborne pathogens is established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). OSHA has set standards to ensure workplace safety, particularly in environments where there is a potential for exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials. The Bloodborne Pathogens Standard mandates employers to create and implement a comprehensive exposure control plan that includes training employees on the risks associated with bloodborne pathogens and the necessary precautions to prevent exposure. This program must be documented in writing to confirm that employees have been informed and trained on the hazards, which protects both the employees and the organization from health risks and legal liabilities.

While the other organizations mentioned may play important roles in health and safety practices within the funeral industry or may provide guidance on best practices, it is OSHA that has the legal authority to enforce workplace safety standards, including those related to bloodborne pathogens training.
