Some employees are receiving communications this week from Human Resources regarding Hepatitis B Vaccination and bloodborne pathogens training. The trainings and vaccination election form are required for employees who could come into contact with blood and other bodily fluids in the normal course of their employment. This includes any employees who
– clean up spills or bodily fluids
– administer first aid
– work with laundry
– handle sharps
If you received this communication but don’t believe your job includes potential exposure to bloodborne pathogens please contact hr@augsburg.edu to discuss.
