The Bloodborne Pathogens Training Fact Sheet has been modified to remove references to two transmission methods (respiratory droplet and vector-borne) that while related to the transmission of pathogens, are not related to the transmission of bloodborne pathogens.

Access the updated Bloodborne Pathogens Training fact sheet and Bloodborne Pathogens Training Instructor's Manual on the Bloodborne Pathogens Training program page on Instructor's Corner. Students may download the fact sheet from redcross.org.
