Health and Safety Infection Control Training

Health and Safety in the workplace is a key way of keeping people safe and working effectively. And there is nowhere more important than in a Health and Social Care setting. Having a team that are fully trained in assessing and mitigating for hazards and risks is vitally important for the smooth running of your business.

Effective infection control includes a number of essential topics. These include how to properly disinfect surfaces, how to break the chain of infection and correct personal hygiene practices. It can also include how dispose of medical waste, store food correctly, the list goes on. All of which is covered on this course.

Couple that with the important knowledge of Fire Safety and manual handling and this Health and Safety Infection Control Training course is a must for all relevant employees within your team.  

Infection Prevention and Control

We’ve also included Infection Prevention and Control Training as part of the day. It too is an essential component of employees knowledge in all industries, especially healthcare. The risk of spreading infections in the workplace is ever-present and when that includes the extra hazard of spread to the individuals you are taking care of, knowledge and strategies to mitigate are of paramount importance.

So we ensure attendees know the most effective ways they can stop the spread of viruses and diseases that could help reduce the risk of infection in a care setting or in the workplace. This includes the importance of hand washing and maintaining a clean environment and how to practically accomplish both disciplines.
