Course Overview
Training Course on Biological Hazards and Infection Control
Introduction
Biological hazards and infection control have become increasingly significant in global health and occupational safety. With the rise of pandemics, antimicrobial resistance, and zoonotic disease transmission, comprehensive training is essential for frontline workers, healthcare professionals, and environmental safety officers. Training Course on Biological Hazards and Infection Control bridges the gap between awareness and action, equipping participants with advanced infection prevention strategies, risk assessment tools, and hazard containment protocols.
This training emphasizes biohazard identification, infection control compliance, emergency preparedness, and biosafety regulation. Through real-world case studies, trending global data, and simulation-based modules, learners will master disease outbreak response, pathogen containment, disinfection procedures, and effective PPE utilization. Our goal is to create a workforce capable of preventing, controlling, and managing biological threats with precision and accountability.
Course Objectives
- Understand the classification and sources of biological hazards in diverse settings.
- Learn the fundamentals of infection transmission and risk reduction.
- Apply disinfection, decontamination, and sterilization techniques effectively.
- Analyze case studies on recent outbreaks and biohazard incidents.
- Develop personal and institutional infection control plans.
- Comprehend the role of PPE and hand hygiene in infection prevention.
- Explore national and international biosafety regulations and guidelines.
- Identify high-risk occupations and implement hazard control measures.
- Implement surveillance and early detection systems for bio-threats.
- Assess the environmental impact of biological contamination.
- Learn safe waste disposal procedures for infectious materials.
- Improve emergency response and crisis management for epidemics.
- Incorporate digital tools and AI for infection monitoring and hazard mapping.
