Infection Control Training

Infection Control Training is a vital course designed for Home Care Support Workers who provide essential services to vulnerable clients. Infection control is not optional—it is a frontline responsibility that saves lives. Every action you take, from correct hand hygiene to the safe use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), plays a role in protecting health, preventing illness, and maintaining dignity. This program gives you the skills and confidence to act safely and professionally in every home you enter.

Why Infection Control Matters

In home care, workers often support clients who are elderly, immunocompromised, or managing chronic conditions. As a result, even a small lapse in infection control can have serious consequences. Therefore, it is essential that every worker understands not only the best practices but also the legal and professional responsibilities tied to infection control. This course shows how prevention is always better than cure.
