How can I teach employees about infection control without giving them alot of reading materials?

Organize a meeting to explain infection control as it relates to your particular business, and be sure to use charts, diagrams, simple words and maybe even a little humor if appropriate. Most people learn two different ways - visually, or through hearing. You need to make sure you are providing the same information both ways in order to reach all of your employees as effectively as possible.

Containment/Cleanup\n\nDon gloves, eye protection, lab coat, etc. \nContain and absorb spill using absorbents appropriate for the material \nProtect floor drains from contamination, by putting absorbents or barriers around them \nPackage and label waste. Include contaminated clothes, rags, equipment, etc. \nStore temporarily in a fume hood is material is volatile

If you already work in a lab.. especially a path lab, you already know.\n\n#1  Reduce risk of contaminants escaping their confines\n\n#2  Reduce risk of injury WHEN contaminants do escape their confines (use of vent systems, etc)\n\n#3  A clear system of expected protocols reduces risk of injury & death to humans and damage to equipment\n\n#4  Having documentation allows information to be followed up if/when injury occurs so that data can be accumulated (if it is blood (etc), did the patient have infectious disease, etc)\n\nThere are so many things to be named, I am sure you can come up with other ideas.

Yes.  Prepare a poem, outlining these particular and funny work habits.  One stanza for each employee.\n\nThen line up several other employees - each to read one stanza of the poem.  \n\nWe did this one time & it was very successful.

1.  Clean/Sanitize their desktops regularly.  \n\n2.  Clean/Sanitize your phone, keyboard, doorknob, and anything else you touch regularly.\n\n3.  Keep hand sanitizer on your desk (the kids like to use it too - this is OK in my classroom!)  :)\n\n4.  Encourage kids to sneeze/cough into their elbows - NOT their hands.\n\n5.  Drink lots of water, eat right, and get enough sleep!\n\nGood Luck!

Unfortunately, you can't LEGALLY tell your boss about your co-worker's illness. However, when it comes to stuff like this, I personally tend to throw legality out the window and leave an anonymous note on my supervisor's desk. Make sure it's anonymous. The government provides for the person, people provide for the people. My instinct says your duty is to yourself and your fellow workers who are not infected.\n\nHow sure are you his mouth has pus-filled blisters in it?

Other than washing the hands frequently(this is a must in any case) you can take also other protective measures: open the windows at work or at school, because even if there is a person having flu and you can't avoid it, fresh air that will enter in the room will help to the diluition of the pathogen.\nIt will be helpful also to take orange juice, that contains vit. C and if you can't there are food supplements containing vit. C + Zn in the pharmacies.So, ask your pharmacist about their action.\nHoney, is also a natural antibiotic of our body.\n\nKaterina

Stay out of healthcare, and ESPECIALLY stay out of nursing.\n\nIf you want to make some money with less stress, consider Physical Therapy if you want to "touch" patients.\n\nIf you don't want to touch patients, consider pharmacy.\n\nIf you want to get spit on, pushed, shoved, sprayed with aids-infested blood, bile, vomit, feces, urine...be a nurse.

Ask for their permission nicely?\n\nSeriously, this is not the place to be asking how to be a l337 hax0r d00d. There are a number of very good security textbooks available if you're just starting out, and a number of much better web sites to look for information than Yahoo answers.\n\nGood luck.
