2The Chain of Infection
-
3Hygiene
Section 1
u003cpu003eWe’ll begin by taking a closer look at what infections are, who’s at risk of infection, and where infections come from. Infections and infectious diseases are caused by harmful germs known as pathogens or pathogenic micro-organisms. In this section, we will look at who is at risk, bacteria, viruses, parasites and more!u003c/pu003e
Section 2
u003cpu003eInfections are transmitted from one place to another, or one person to another, through a process called the chain of infection. We’ll look at how transmission happens and what you can do to break the chain of infection where you work. The infection control tactics you learn in this training will help you to stay healthy and avoid infections.u003c/pu003e
Section 3
u003cpu003eHaving good personal hygiene, using PPE appropriately, storing food correctly, disposing of waste safely, and keeping your environment clean are simple ways to HELP break the chain of infection around you. This is what we’ll be covering in this section.u003c/pu003e
About this course
u003cpu003eu003cstrongu003eThe risk of infection is everywhereu003c/strongu003e, from door handles and desks to kitchens and keyboards. And once an infection contaminates, it can be spread around a workplace in as little as two to four hours. u003c/pu003ennu003cpu003eIt’s the job of staff and managers everywhere to be aware of the risks of infections like COVID-19, Norovirus, and more. This added awareness will help staff members do what they can to help prevent diseases from spreading in the workplace. That’s where our infection control course comes in. It looks at what kinds of infections are most prevalent, what they are, how they spread, and who’s at risk. Most importantly, it considers what you can do to prevent the spread of infections at all.u003c/pu003ennu003cpu003eExposure to infection is largely incidental, and so is not specific to any particular working practice. However, due to the increased severity in the event that infection does take hold, this Infection Control course is u003cstrongu003eparticularly useful to those working in the Care Industry.u003c/strongu003eu003c/pu003ennu003cpu003eu003cstrongu003eiHasco have also produced a u003ca href=u0022https://ihasco.staging.1int.co.uk/free-coronavirus-awareness-videou0022u003efree Coronavirus Awareness eLearning videou003c/au003e.u003c/strongu003eu003c/pu003ennu003cpu003eu003cstrongu003eUseful resources – Workplace Posters:u003c/strongu003eu003c/pu003ennu003culu003entu003cliu003eu003cstrongu003eu003ca href=u0022https://ihasco.staging.1int.co.uk/uploads/resources/NHS_stop_spreading_germs_poster.pdfu0022u003eCatch it, bin it, kill itu003c/au003e u003c/strongu003eu003c/liu003entu003cliu003eu003cstrongu003eu003ca href=u0022https://ihasco.staging.1int.co.uk/uploads/resources/Reducing_Spread_of_Infection.pdfu0022u003eReducing the spread of infectionsu003c/au003eu003c/strongu003eu003c/liu003enu003c/ulu003eu003ch4 class=u0022mt-45u0022u003eu003cspan style=u0022color: #ff26a8u0022u003eu003c/spanu003eu003c/h4u003eu003cpu003eu003c/pu003e

Hygiene
Having a good personal hygiene. Using PPE oppropriately Storing food correctly Disposing of waste safely Keeping environment clean
very interesting
although it could make one feel ill the module/course certainly gave food for thought (no pun intended) I think you at iHasco have the balance for all the modules/courses exactly spot on and unlike other providers my interest never waned throughout

Infection control is important because it minimises the spread of infection and disease in both healthcare and non-healthcare settings. Infection control training teaches people how to properly disinfect surfaces, how to break the chain of infection, correct personal hygiene practices, dispose of medical waste, store food correctly, and more.

RIDDOR (2013) requires that employers report injuries, diseases, and dangerous occurrences in the workplace. It’s essential to keep a record of all incidents and injuries as standard, but not all of these will need to be reported to HSE under RIDDOR. As RIDDOR covers diseases, it’s likely that you’ll need to report major infection outbreaks to the Health and Safety Executive. In addition to our online infection control course, we also provide a u003ca href=u0022https://ihasco.staging.1int.co.uk/courses/detail/first-aid-requirements-and-riddoru0022u003efirst aid and RIDDOR training courseu003c/au003e.

It’s recommended that infection control training is updated every 2 years. However, you can also complete refresher infection control courses on a more frequent basis.
-
Infection control training is not mandatory for most workplaces, but it would usually be down to an employer to arrange this type of training. The IPC (infection prevention and control) lead is typically responsible for organising and implementing infection control training in healthcare settings.
