Learn in detail the protocols to prevent the spread of Covid-19

As the coronavirus continues to spread, it has become increasingly evident that we can do much to reduce the spread of infection. The training course is designed for employees in non-healthcare workplaces. It helps them learn the basics of infection prevention and hand hygiene as well as the proper use of PPE. The material for this course is prepared in line with the guidance from the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy and the advice from the NHS and Public Health England. Since we continue to receive new information about the spread of covid-19, the course material is improved, as necessary, to keep up with the latest updates. When you complete this training course, you will be in a position to follow all the practical steps to stop the virus from spreading at your workplace and thus, keep everyone safe. Although the course is primarily designed for employees in non-healthcare businesses, it can benefit anyone who wants to learn the correct procedures for infection control and the right way of using PPE. The training will allow you to limit the risk of covid-19 wherever you are. Please note that this course is not for those who work in a high-risk environment such as hospitals since they would need to follow a totally different set of covid-19 protocols.
