Infection Prevention and Control

An influenza pandemic occurs when a virus starts spreading worldwide or across a large number of international borders. Pandemics can result in fatalities and major disruptions of society, but their effects can be mitigated. That is why companies, governments and citizens around the world are undertaking preparations to delay viral spread.

This course provides learners with basic information about handwashing as it relates to infection control principles. This course is intended for all healthcare workers.

This program provides information about worker rights, employer responsibilities and how to identify, abate, avoid and prevent job-related hazards. Although many essential safety topics are covered, additional site-specific information and hands-on demonstrations of skills are ultimately needed for your safety and to fulfill training requirements found in OSHA standards. Many jurisdictions, employers and unions require this course, which is voluntary at the U.S. federal level. Each student who completes the program will receive a completion card issued by the U.S. Department of Labor. OSHA Outreach Training is only available to trainees within the geographic jurisdiction of the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Act. Trainees outside this jurisdiction will not receive cards for course completion. This 10-Hour program is primarily intended for entry-level workers, and the 30-Hour program is for workers with some safety responsibility. The program will take longer than 10 hours.
