Infection control training is an important aspect of healthcare worker training, as it is crucial to preventing the spread of infectious diseases. This training typically covers topics such as:

• The causes and modes of transmission of infectious diseases
• Standard Precautions and Transmission-Based Precautions
• Hand hygiene and personal protective equipment (PPE)
• Cleaning and decontamination of equipment and surfaces
• Safe handling and disposal of hazardous materials
• Isolation procedures
• Recognizing and reporting potential outbreaks

The training can be done in different ways like online, classroom or on-the-job training. The format and length of the training will depend on the employer or regulatory body, but it is usually a full or half day course.

It’s also worth noting that this training is mandatory for all healthcare workers, and it should be updated regularly to ensure that they are aware of the latest guidelines and best practices.

In addition to training, employers should also provide the necessary resources like PPE, hand sanitizers and other infection control materials to help employees to follow the guidelines and avoid infection.
