Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) at Work Elearning

Human history is full of harrowing periods when just one single illness became deadly and spread at epidemic or pandemic levels. Think about the Great Influenza pandemic (AKA Spanish Flu), The Plague and - more recently - Covid-19. There isn’t an industry or sector that hasn’t been affected. With the risk of another pandemic always looming, it’s more important than ever to understand the most effective ways you can help prevent the spread of infection in your workplace.
