One area of infection control that is important to learn more about in the home and work life is how to stay safe and protect ourselves with the current Coronavirus outbreak. For more information on Coronavirus and COVID 19, we have created a free Coronavirus COVID 19 video online course.

This course has different sections and you work through them and can review any subject as many times as you want. The first section covers what blood bourne pathogens are, infection control legislation, who is at risk and the chain of infection.

The next section looks at the types of infection and includes HIV and AIDS, Hepatitis B and C and skin diseases. The next section covers workplace controls and includes contamination of objects, cross-infection, how to reduce your risks, surface cleaning, hazardous disposal procedures, hygiene, PPE, exposure incidents and good housekeeping.
