Course modules

01

Advanced cleaning techniques, chemical safety & dilution control

Hours 1–2
  • Distinguish cleaning from disinfection: soil removal, microbial load reduction and cleaning science.
  • Read SDS guidance; select PPE and store chemicals safely.
  • Use manual or automated dilution correctly to prevent ineffective disinfection, surface damage and chemical exposure.
  • Apply color-coded microfiber systems to reduce cross-contamination between zones.
02

Medical waste & hazardous materials handling

Hours 3–4
  • Identify municipal, infectious, sharps, pharmaceutical and chemical waste streams.
  • Package, label, bag and transport contaminated materials securely.
  • Prevent needle-stick injuries with safe sharps disposal and post-exposure response.
  • Manage bodily-fluid and chemical spills using applicable containment and safety procedures.
03

Surface disinfection & infection control

Hour 5
  • Prioritize high-touch surfaces such as handles, switches, bed rails and bathroom fixtures.
  • Maintain the disinfectant label's required wet contact time.
  • Review terminal and discharge cleaning, isolation-room practices and outbreak response.
  • Control dust with damp wiping and HEPA-filtered vacuuming.
