But in creating your work you may be exposed to something just as permanent \u2014 hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Exposure to these bloodborne pathogens can occur in many ways. Cross-contamination is one of them. Cross-contamination is the spread of bacteria and viruses through contact and happens when a contaminated object touches another object or surface, leaving behind germs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>An example of cross-contamination is touching the telephone with gloves that you wore while working with a client. Because some bloodborne pathogens can live on objects and surfaces for several days, you could<br>be exposed to those germs and not know it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Free BBP Training &#8211; Only Pay For Certificate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Free Blood Borne Pathogens for Bodyart Course from USA Tattoo Regulator OSHHA &#8211; Occupational Safety and Health Administration, you only pay for a certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"keychainify-checked\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oshatrain.org\/courses\/mods\/607m1.html\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.oshatrain.org\/courses\/mods\/607m1.html\" target=\"_blank\">Free BBP Course for Tattoo Industry<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/satattoosupply.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/BBP_crpd_668x472.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-204\" width=\"239\" height=\"168\"\/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oshatrain.org\/courses\/mods\/607m1.html\">Click to view<\/a> <strong>Free BBP Course for the tattoo &amp; body art industry<\/strong>, just pay for the certificate.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:31px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Medical Waste Management<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>PDF download link below for the medical waste laws from the Department of health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.za\/sites\/default\/files\/gcis_document\/201409\/37654rg10195gon375.pdf\">download Medical Waste Health Act PDF<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gauteng<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/satattoosupply.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/EQUILIBRIUM-FULL-LOGO-002-768x184-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-206\" width=\"219\" height=\"52\" srcset=\"https:\/\/satattoosupply.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/EQUILIBRIUM-FULL-LOGO-002-768x184-1.png 768w, https:\/\/satattoosupply.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/EQUILIBRIUM-FULL-LOGO-002-768x184-1-300x72.png 300w, https:\/\/satattoosupply.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/EQUILIBRIUM-FULL-LOGO-002-768x184-1-150x36.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 219px) 100vw, 219px\" \/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/equilibriumwaste.co.za\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Equilibrium Waste Management<\/a>, <strong>Johannesburg.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Western Cape<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/satattoosupply.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/VT-MED-WASTE-1024x210.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-207\" width=\"181\" height=\"37\" srcset=\"https:\/\/satattoosupply.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/VT-MED-WASTE-1024x210.png 1024w, https:\/\/satattoosupply.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/VT-MED-WASTE-300x62.png 300w, https:\/\/satattoosupply.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/VT-MED-WASTE-768x158.png 768w, https:\/\/satattoosupply.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/VT-MED-WASTE-1536x316.png 1536w, https:\/\/satattoosupply.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/VT-MED-WASTE-2048x421.png 2048w, https:\/\/satattoosupply.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/VT-MED-WASTE-150x31.png 150w, https:\/\/satattoosupply.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/VT-MED-WASTE-1200x247.png 1200w, https:\/\/satattoosupply.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/VT-MED-WASTE-1980x407.png 1980w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 181px) 100vw, 181px\" \/><figcaption><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vtmedwaste.co.za\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">VT Med Waste<\/a>, <strong>Cape Town<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Directory of resources, links, and services promoting health, safety, and professionalism in the South African Tattoo, Piercing &amp; Body Art industry.
