Workplace Infectious / Contagious Diseases Awareness Training & Procedures Certificate

Our Infectious Diseases safety training course is regulation aligned, and our online version fulfills classroom training requirements. Each class contains sections on Transmission, Protection from Diseases, and more.

During this training, we will be taking a look at the specific infectious disease procedures, and tasks that are required of someone who is striving to protect themselves and others from infectious diseases. As part of this training, you will learn the importance of proper personal hygiene and respiratory etiquette. We will also discuss the various ways in which a disease can be transmitted. Finally, we will emphasize the necessity to break the chain of infection through the use of proper cleaning and sanitation procedures, PPE, and precautions when exposed to disease-spreading insects.

In line with regulations, those in many workplaces must receive training on infectious disease prevention prior to beginning work. Requirements for refresher training are very specific for some industries, while other industries do not have such specific requirements.

When it comes to refresher training, the standards are often very specific. Some industries require employees to be re-evaluated every three years. Best practices say to apply this same rule to all topics. A so-called “free-pass” cannot be awarded based on experience, age, or time on the job. The extent of the evaluation is to be determined by the employer but should include a written and practical examination that proves continued competency.
