Direct care staff face bloodborne pathogen exposure risks every day — from assisting with a fall, changing a bandage, or cleaning up after an accident. A single unprotected exposure to Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, or HIV can have lasting consequences, which is why proper training matters as much as good intentions.

DCTC’s new course, Blood Borne Pathogens – Group Home Focused, was built specifically for adult foster care and group home settings. Staff learn exposure risk and the chain of infection, how to apply universal precautions in everyday caregiving, and how to correctly use PPE. The course also covers disinfection, laundry protocol, and — critically — what to do in the first minutes after an exposure incident.

Recordkeeping, hazard communication, and the intersection of MIOSHA and AFC administrative rules round out the training, giving administrators confidence their home meets both safety and compliance expectations.
Whether you’re onboarding new hires or completing annual training equirements, this course gives your team the practical knowledge to protect themselves, their coworkers, and the residents they serve.
