Course Overview
This comprehensive Healthcare Housekeeping Safety training program provides participants with essential knowledge and practical skills required for working safely in healthcare environmental services and housekeeping departments. The program covers fundamental safety principles along with specialized techniques for managing unique hazards associated with cleaning high-touch surfaces, handling contaminated waste, and maintaining infection control standards in healthcare facilities.
Participants will learn to apply OSHA regulations including 29 CFR 1910.1030 Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, personal protective equipment requirements, and general industry safety standards to create safer housekeeping operations. This program combines theoretical knowledge with practical applications addressing specific hazards including bloodborne pathogen exposure during waste handling, sharps injuries, hazardous chemical contact during cleaning, fire safety risks, electrical hazards from equipment, ergonomic injuries from repetitive tasks, and slip hazards from wet surfaces while emphasizing infection prevention and worker protection throughout environmental services operations.
