Project Firstline Infection Control Toolkits

Want to lead an infection control training for healthcare workers? Project Firstline has developed training resources that cater to all styles of learning, so healthcare leaders can train their team with content that is engaging and accessible. Project Firstline’s toolkits are easy to use and can be integrated into existing infection control training programs. You don’t need to be an expert to lead a CDC infection control training course, as the resources in this toolkit will help you along the way.

Use the toolkits to help your team learn to recognize infection risks throughout their workday. By learning to recognize risks, they can stop the spread of germs and  protect their patients, themselves, and their coworkers from infectious disease threats.
