Lesson 08 · Cleaning, Decontamination and Disinfection
Infection does not need a visibly sick person. It needs six links, and your daily habits can break them.
In this lesson
Name the six links of the chain of infection and the ways each can be broken, tell the modes of transmission apart, and keep the department's environment working against infection: traffic zones, OSHA's bloodborne pathogens standard, air, fomites, food and drink, and routine cleaning.
