While national delivery services do a great job handling everyday packages and luxury items, they often fall short when it comes to the demands of urgent, specialized deliveries, especially in the medical field. Medical couriers play a crucial role in healthcare logistics, transporting sensitive materials such as blood samples, medications, lab results, and life-saving equipment. That’s why their training must be both thorough and specialized.
At Fleet Couriers, we understand the high stakes involved in medical deliveries. Serving the Massachusetts area and beyond, we’ve built a reputation for reliability and professionalism by investing in the comprehensive training of every courier we hire.
Here’s a look at what goes into training each and every one of our medical couriers.
HIPAA & PHI Security
One of the most critical components of our training is complying with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Couriers learn how to handle Protected Health Information (PHI) with the utmost confidentiality. This includes both digital and physical forms of patient data. Our team is trained to follow strict protocols to avoid any data breaches and ensure secure deliveries at all times.
Bloodborne Pathogen & OSHA Compliance
Medical couriers are often tasked with transporting biological specimens. To protect both our staff and the public, every Fleet courier completes Bloodborne Pathogen safety training and must comply with OSHA regulations. This ensures they can safely handle and transport potentially infectious materials.
Emergency Response & Exposure Control
Accidents can happen, which is why our training includes an Exposure Control Plan (ECP) and detailed emergency procedures. Couriers are trained to respond promptly to exposure incidents, utilizing industry-standard spill kits, protective gear, and approved cleanup procedures. Each courier carries DOT-compliant containers, emergency contact cards, and other essential safety equipment.
Specialized Equipment Handling
Fleet Couriers are equipped with and trained to use Department of Transportation (DOT)-authorized transport containers to maintain the integrity and safety of medical items in transit. This includes secure coolers for blood or temperature-sensitive items, tamper-evident bags for pharmaceuticals, and other essential items.
Experience That Matters
From urgent blood deliveries to long-term care pharmacy logistics and the transportation of medical equipment, our couriers handle thousands of specialized medical shipments every year. With every delivery, we’re not just moving a package. We’re supporting critical healthcare operations.
