With the vaccine doses being administered and infection rates dropping, hopes are high that Covid is in the rear-view mirror. While things are looking promising, CNAs cannot let their guard down. Everyone must continue to practice of effective infection control procedures, proper PPE use and remain diligent about Covid safety at work and beyond.
Creating a safe work environment during the continued Covid-19 pandemic is as critical as ever. The OSHA National Emphasis program is still in effect and your organization’s NAICS code is on the list of the types of businesses to be inspected. Covid safety training for staff is one of the elements in these inspections and our training covers many of the key inspection topics.
Let us help keep your CNA team vigilant with this OSHA grant-funded COVID-19 Safety for CNAs training series. The final training groups starts June 16th. The training will teach and reinforce critical COVID-19 safety concepts. Your team will gain an understanding of the vital role they play in infection prevention, infection control and safety.
COVID-19 Safety for CNAs is a NO COST virtual training providing CNAs the opportunity to gain knowledge and skills through interactive training sessions with experts outside of your organization. This training is not a typical listen and learn series. Designed specifically to meet the needs of CNAs, it will be engaging, interactive, informative, and fun. Each training session will include content learning, hands-on activities, facilitated discussions or case studies to reinforce learning, develop skills and prepare the CNAs to practice and advocate for safety. Certificates of attendance are provided for each person completing the training series.
