Yes; the frozen ones are safe too 
Who gets diseases from tubifex or bloodworms?
As a general rule, this isnt true.... Tubifex to be fair are pretty discusting, they come from drainage systems... however, as long as you dont eat them or handle them and proceed to lick your hands... im pretty sure you'd be safe!
Bloodworms are pretty harmless! If you clean out any filter in any pond, you'll generally find red wriggly 'bloodworms' in there, or in any bucket of standing water, give it a tap and watch the red and black squigglies wriggle away... they wont hurt you, though i'm not advising you to eat them either.
As for the frozen foods, they have been Gamma Irradiated and are completely safe. Here is a few quotes to give you an idea:
And so on...
Its the same with people fussing around and being overly sensitive in terms of reptiles, thinking its easy to get salmonella from reptiles, its not easy... for a start, its generally what the reptile eats and not the reptile itself and secondly... it comes down to basic hygiene and husbandry! Keep your pets environment clean, dont kiss or lick your pets etc and wash your hands!
Simple. Get some hand gel and after putting your hands in tank or using frozen or live foods

MBOU, I'm assuming he meant fish diseases, not human diseases.

I doubt there's any fish diseases that will withstand gamma irradiation either
