Back to Basics: Applying Standard PrecautionsAccording to the CDC, one of the best ways to prevent infection is to interrupt the pathogen during transmission, and the principle way to do this is to practice Standard Precautions. Standard Precautions assumes that all patients in every healthcare setting are potentially colonized or infected with an organism that can be transmitted to others. This important program will help all healthcare workers understand and apply the basic principles of Standard Precautions. |

Back to Basics: OSHA Fit Testing for Particulate RespiratorsKnown respiratory diseases like tuberculosis are highly contagious and even deadly; but there are also emerging respiratory diseases that can appear unexpectedly and can be just as dangerous.

Back to Basics: Selecting and Using Personal Protective EquipmentThe proper use of PPE is so important that OSHA requires it to protect healthcare workers from exposure to bloodborne pathogens, tuberculosis, and any other potentially infectious disease. In addition, the CDC recommends certain PPE to create a barrier between the healthcare worker and infectious material. By choosing the right personal protective equipment (PPE), and using it at all the appropriate times, healthcare workers can protect themselves and others from harmful organisms. |
