Infection Prevention and Control Training
Infection Prevention and Control Training is essential in all industries, including construction. This course will help you to understand the risks of spreading infections , as well as the preventative measures that need to be put in place.
Introduction
Infection Prevention and Control Training is incredibly important. No matter what industry you work in, the risk of spreading infections in the workplace is ever-present.
Considering the time, money, and productivity lost from illness, it’s important that your employees are aware of the risks, so that they can keep themselves and everyone around them safe.
Learning Outcomes
- Understand how to break the chain of infection.
- Learn about what infections are, where they come from and how to prevent them.
- Build on your knowledge of personal hygiene, and the correct practises to reduce infection.
Course Structure
The course is broken down into 3 main sections:
- Infections
- The Chain of Infection
- Hygiene
Course Overview
The risk of infection is everywhere. From door handles and desks, to kitchens and keyboards. Once an infection contaminates a person, it can spread around an entire workplace in as little as two to four hours.
Responsibility lies with staff to be aware of the risks of infection and do what they can to help prevent the spread. Our Infection Prevention and Control training offers information on a variety of infections (including those that are most prevalent), how they spread, and who’s at risk. Most importantly, it offers guidance to prevent the spread of infections as much as possible.
Exposure to infection is rather incidental, meaning that it isn’t specific to any particular working practice. However, in the event that infection does occur, the Infection Prevention and Control course is particularly useful in managing the impacts, especially to those working in the Care Industry.
