About this course
The risk of infection is everywhere, from door handles and desks to kitchens and keyboards. And once an infection contaminates, it can be spread around a workplace in as little as two to four hours.
It’s the job of staff and managers everywhere to be aware of the risks of infections like COVID-19, Norovirus, and more. This added awareness will help staff members do what they can to help prevent diseases from spreading in the workplace. That's where our infection control course comes in. It looks at what kinds of infections are most prevalent, what they are, how they spread, and who’s at risk. Most importantly, it considers what you can do to prevent the spread of infections at all.
Exposure to infection is largely incidental, and so is not specific to any particular working practice. However, due to the increased severity in the event that infection does take hold, this Infection Control course is particularly useful to those working in the Care Industry.
iHASCO have also produced a free Coronavirus Awareness eLearning video.
