Infection Prevention & Control (IPC) Training
Infection prevention and control are essential for all businesses, especially those where the working environment or job activities may expose employees and others around them to infection. This includes individuals who work in healthcare, who are in close touch with humans or animals, and those who clean up human and animal waste.

It describes both the employer’s and the employee’s responsibilities, emphasizes the benefits of strong infection control policies and procedures, and details important legislation and regulations.
