Free Online Employer COVID-19 Training

Getting back to work in the new normal will require businesses and employees to be trained and refreshed on a variety of training topics. There are numerous resources from Workplace Hazard Assessments to tools for compliance based training related to leave, privacy, safety and discrimination (e.g., ADA, FMLA, HIPAA) that are important to consider for proper education. It is even more critical to go a step further to upskill and reskill workers with training on communication with your employer, work environment and more to ensure preparedness and productivity to assist workers in preparing for, responding to, and limiting the exposure of COVID-19.

Being prepared, yet flexible enough as a business in understanding the requirements to adapt to an ever-changing situation, is important to the well-being of everyone in the workplace. Given that we are still learning about COVID-19, businesses now more than ever should deploy online training as a viable tool to consider to meet the requirements they have under the various laws and regulations.

Accendi Group is committed to giving businesses updates on FREE training resources! Ready your return to work with viable workplace strategies with training at the forefront to adjust to the new normal. We will work to continue to update this resource page with FREE training content.

Decontamination and sterilization of medical devices The decontamination of instruments and medical devices plays a very important role in the prevention of health care-associated infections (HAIs). Indeed, improper decontamination of surgical instruments, endoscopic devices, respiratory care devices and reusable haemodialysis devices still occurs in many settings, leading to HAIs. This course is based on the WHO manual on decontamination and reprocessing of medical devices for health care facilities, as well as in collaboration with the US CDC.

Standard precautions: Waste management  According to WHO, about 85% of the total amount of waste generated by health care activities is general, non-hazardous waste. The remaining 15% is considered hazardous material that could be infectious, toxic or radioactive. Hazardous waste that is not managed properly presents a risk to hospital patients, health care personnel and the general public.

Standard precautions: Hand hygiene Most health care-associated infections are preventable through good hand hygiene – cleaning hands at the right times and in the right way. The WHO Guidelines on hand hygiene in health care support hand hygiene promotion and improvement in health care facilities worldwide and are complemented by the WHO multimodal hand hygiene improvement strategy, the guide to implementation, and implementation toolkit, which contain many ready-to-use practical tools. This module has been prepared to help summarize the WHO guidelines on hand hygiene, associated tools and ideas for effective implementation.

COVID-19: How to put on and remove personal protective equipment This is a guide for healthcare workers involved in patient care activities in a healthcare setting. It aims to show the type of personal protective equipment or PPE needed to correctly protect oneself. Based on the current available evidence, the WHO recommended PPE for the care of COVID patients are CONTACT and DROPLET precautions, with the exception of aerosol producing procedures, which require CONTACT and AIRBORNE (hence, a respirator mask such as N95, FFP2, FFP3). Keeping in mind, PPE is part of a larger infection prevention and control bundle of measures and should be implemented as part of a multimodal strategy of management of COVID-19 patients. Only clinical staff who are trained and competent in the use of PPE should be allowed to enter the patient’s room.
