The 2021 Bloodborne Pathogens online course is designed for those who are at risk for on-the-job exposure to blood and other bodily fluids in the workplace. The course teaches staff how bloodborne pathogens are spread, how to avoid exposure and what to do if exposed to infectious material.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Bloodborne Pathogens Standard mandates training for certain employees who may potentially be exposed to human blood or bodily fluids. The American Red Cross Bloodborne Pathogens course meets OSHA requirements and gives participants the knowledge required to help protect them from the transmission risks of bloodborne pathogens.

What is naloxone?
Naloxone is a life-saving medication that can reverse an overdose from opioids—including heroin, fentanyl, and prescription opioid medications—when given in time. Naloxone is easy to use and small to carry.
How does naloxone work and how do you use it?
Naloxone quickly reverses an overdose by blocking the effects of opioids. It can restore normal breathing within 2 to 3 minutes in a person whose breath has slowed, or even stopped, as a result of opioid overdose. More than one dose of naloxone may be required when stronger opioids like fentanyl are involved.
Naloxone won’t harm someone if they’re overdosing on drugs other than opioids, so it’s always best to use it if you think someone is overdosing.
Learning Objectives
After completing this module, participants will be able to:
- Describe an opioid overdose.
- Apply the emergency action steps to an opioid overdose.
- Demonstrate how to administer naloxone using a nasal spray or nasal atomizer.

FAQs
With a half-million cardiac arrests each year, CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) can help save a life if a person’s breathing or heart stops. CPR involves performing chest compressions, rescue breaths, and using an automated external defibrillator (AED) if available. It’s not just for healthcare workers and emergency responders. In fact, CPR can double or triple the chance of survival when bystanders take action.
Yes, CS-Med Team uses American National Red Cross and ACS Stop the Bleed services to teach training in multiple formats including:
In Person: Delivered in a traditional classroom setting, our in-person first aid courses combine lecture with hands-on skills sessions. The course culminates with testing, which allows participants to receive a two-year certification.
Blended Learning: Featuring award-winning simulation learning, our blended learning programs combine self-paced, interactive instruction and in-person skills sessions. Blended Learning courses allow you to learn on your schedule, then demonstrate your skills to a certified instructor.
Online Learning: Online-only classes provide an interactive and engaging method to learning essential safety and preparedness information and skills. When you choose an online-only class, you will not have the opportunity to demonstrate your skill proficiency to a certified instructor. Therefore, online-only training may not meet the requirements for workplace safety.
Visit the American Red Cross “Find My Certificate” page and follow the instructions. If you require a printed certificate, contact 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) and select the prompt “Training and Certification” for assistance. To help process your request, please have the following information available when you call: course name, course location, date, course instructor’s name, and your name. Most Red Cross certifications, including First Aid/CPR/AED, CPR/AED for Healthcare Providers are valid for two years from the course completion date. If more than two years has passed, you will need to take another class to get re-certified.
Participants in the Basic Life Support or other CPR/AED courses may demonstrate the primary assessment and the CPR skill as they would perform it in their environment of care. For example, depending on their scope of practice, they may demonstrate the primary assessment and CPR skill on an elevated surface that is firm, flat and stable which would be used in the scope of their care, such as a hospital bed or stretcher. Or they may demonstrate these skills on the ground.
