TB Transmission Prevention Training

TB Transmission Prevention Training equips healthcare workers and staff with essential knowledge to reduce the spread of tuberculosis (TB), an airborne infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The training emphasizes a hierarchy of controls: administrative measures (e.g., early detection, patient isolation, and triage), environmental controls (e.g., proper ventilation and UV filtration), and personal respiratory protection (e.g., N95 respirators). Participants learn about TB transmission risks, cough etiquette, infection control protocols, and annual screening guidelines from organizations like CDC and WHO. It includes practical instruction on PPE usage, facility risk assessments, and patient education to minimize exposure in high-risk settings. Ultimately, this training helps protect healthcare personnel, patients, and communities by promoting effective, evidence-based prevention strategies.
