Workplace Infectious / Contagious Diseases Awareness Training & Procedures Certificate
Hard Hat Training courses meet all training requirements set by OSHA and Canada.
We Offer Three Types of Contagious Diseases Trainings
Our regulation-aligned Contagious Diseases certification courses are updated to reflect the most recent changes made to safety standards. Whether you want a certification in as little as two hours, or a more robust training, we can help! We offer online trainings that can be completed in a day, DIY training kits that provide training materials, Train the Trainer certifications that certify individuals to train others and provide training materials, or onsite training. No matter what you choose, we can get you what you want, at a price you can afford.
Online training is for those who prefer self-paced training from any location and/or for employers who need to assign and monitor employee training progress and exam scores.
The training kit is for those who want the freedom of doing the training themselves. It is a PowerPoint Presentation (PPT) that you can present yourself to a group of trainees.
Train the Trainer courses are online and meant to certify an individual to use the training kit to train others. Training kit and materials are included with the Train the Trainer online course for no additional cost.
What’s in the Contagious Diseases Training Course?
Our Infectious Diseases safety training course is regulation aligned, and our online version fulfills classroom training requirements. Each class contains sections on Transmission, Protection from Diseases, and more.
During this training, we will be taking a look at the specific infectious disease procedures, and tasks that are required of someone who is striving to protect themselves and others from infectious diseases. As part of this training, you will learn the importance of proper personal hygiene and respiratory etiquette. We will also discuss the various ways in which a disease can be transmitted. Finally, we will emphasize the necessity to break the chain of infection through the use of proper cleaning and sanitation procedures, PPE, and precautions when exposed to disease-spreading insects.
This presentation includes intermittent practice quiz questions to prepare for the final written exam included with the course. In addition to the written exam, this course also includes a checklist for employers to use when administering a practical exam as required by OSHA.

Why Do I Need Contagious Diseases Safety Training?
In line with regulations, those in many workplaces must receive training on infectious disease prevention prior to beginning work. Requirements for refresher training are very specific for some industries, while other industries do not have such specific requirements.
When it comes to refresher training, the standards are often very specific. Some industries require employees to be re-evaluated every three years. Best practices say to apply this same rule to all topics. A so-called “free-pass” cannot be awarded based on experience, age, or time on the job. The extent of the evaluation is to be determined by the employer but should include a written and practical examination that proves continued competency.
