8-Hour Class

This 2 part course combines CPR/AED/First Aid with Protection From Bloodborne Pathogens. This course follows the prescribed requirements of the American Heart Association and is designed to meet the requirements of OSHA 1910.1030, the Bloodborne Pathogens standard.  While it is recognized that tower erectors face minimal risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens, they do occasionally provide basic first aid to co-workers who might be injured on the job, and require proper training to acclimate themselves to the risks, and to prevent any occupational exposure from occurring.
