Infectious Disease: Control and Prevention – Training Course

Infectious Disease: Control and Prevention is a practical training program designed to help employees understand how infections spread and how to reduce the risk of transmission in the workplace.

Microorganisms are present everywhere—in the air, on surfaces, and on and within the human body. While many are harmless, some can cause illness and pose serious risks in both occupational and non-occupational settings. This course provides essential knowledge on how infectious diseases develop, spread, and can be effectively controlled.

Participants will learn how to identify common infectious agents, understand transmission pathways, and apply proven prevention strategies. The course also introduces the Hierarchy of Controls and explains how exposure control plans help minimize workplace risk and support compliance with OSHA and CDC guidelines.

By focusing on awareness, prevention, and practical application, this training helps organizations create safer, healthier work environments.
