EMS – Infection Disease Control Basic
OSHA has determined that EMS providers face a significant health risk as the result of occupational exposure to blood and other potentially infectious materials. Exposure can be minimized or eliminated using a combination of engineering and work practice controls, personal protective clothing and equipment. This program covers OSHA guidelines which health care providers must follow to assure a safer work environment. The class covers the basic aspects of infectious disease control from bloodborne to airborne.
This course is a prerequisite for the Designated Infection Control Officer course
EMS – Designated Infection Control Officer
The Virginia Office of EMS regulations require that each licensed EMS agency identify an Infection Control Officer. That person must be formally trained for the position and be knowledgeable in the proper post exposure medical procedures and current regulations and laws governing disease transmission. This training program provides that training and includes a review of the major duties of an agency’s DICO to include the Ryan White CARE Act, OSHA regulations pertaining to EMS and guidelines for compliance. This program has been approved by the VAOEMS as meeting the standard for DICO training.
