Are you comfortable working with bio-hazardous materials?

"As an experienced phlebotomist, I have extensive experience handling and processing blood for research and testing purposes. As such, I have advanced knowledge of the appropriate procedures for safely drawing blood while simultaneously adhering to proper safety standards. Not only do I practice excellent quality control, but I also make sure I keep myself up-to-date on changing guidelines and new procedures."

"During my years in waste management, I was required to become certified in handling bio-hazardous materials on an annual basis since we were consistently exposed to it. In that time, I received HAZMAT certification to meet OSHA and EPA safety and sanitation standards. I also received my RCRA certification for treating, storing, and disposing of hazardous waste."

Explain your expertise in this area by noting any related experience, special certifications, and/or training that support your qualifications. Emphasize your commitment to following sanitation and safety protocols in an environment where blood is present. If you have experience drawing, packaging, processing, and/or distributing blood, be specific about the procedures you followed to meet regulatory standards.
