Preventing The Spread Of Contagious Illness

The words Ebola, MRSA, and Enterovirus raise our concerns. News headlines often proclaim deaths due to contagious illness and can incite fear. We can easily over-react to that fear when we don't understand how these illnesses spread and what we can do to protect ourselves and our families, friends and coworkers.

This program outlines the procedures and precautions to take to prevent contracting and spreading contagious illnesses. Viewers gain an understanding of contagious illnesses and how they can be prevented from spreading. Topics include symptoms of illnesses, precautions to take to stay healthy, how to respond to suspected infection, and how to prepare for and respond to a pandemic. Share this program with your employees to help keep them safe from these dangerous illnesses.
