MANDATORY IN-SERVICE LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING
THROUGH NJ LEARN
BLOODBORNE PATHOGENS
The following Bloodborne Pathogens Training meets the Federal Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA) Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, which was adopted by
the New Jersey State Public Employees Occupational Safety and Health (PEOSH)
Program. Training must be provided at the time of the emergency responder’s initial
employment and at least annually thereafter.
The standard requires that emergency responders have access to a qualified trainer
while taking on-line training to allow for interactive questions and answers, if needed.
This requirement can be met via telephone contact or through email only if the trainer is
available to answer emailed questions at the time the questions arise (e.g., live chat). It
is the responsibility of each department’s/agency’s chief executive to provide their
members with the name, contact information and work hours of the qualified trainer
designated to assist with any questions.
The standard also requires that emergency responders are provided with an explanation
of the department’s/agency’s written exposure control plan, as well as the means by
which members can obtain a written copy. It is the responsibility of each
department’s/agency’s chief executive to provide this information to its members. It is
critical that each emergency responder knows what to do in the event of an exposure
and to be able to articulate their department’s/agency’s exposure control plan.
If the emergency responder has questions relating to any training or modifications made
to existing procedures, they should consult with their designated qualified trainer,
supervisor, and/or appropriate legal advisor.
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
The purpose of this program is to provide law enforcement officers with a general
overview of laws and policies in the State of New Jersey. Taking this course satisfies
the four-hour requirement annual domestic violence training requirements set forth
in N.J.S.A. 2C:25-20. However, County Prosecutors may require police officers to
participate in additional domestic violence training.
