MRSA, Staph & Infection Prevention for the Oil & Gas Industries

Course Length: 27 minutes

This dynamic training focuses on preventive techniques for avoiding MRSA and Staph outbreaks. The course also teaches oil and gas workers how to recognize the signs of serious infections.

The training content was developed with leading experts in the medical field. It teaches workers how to recognize the signs of a serious infection before it becomes life-threatening. Workers also learn to respond to both individual cases and outbreaks.

Prevention and quick responses are essential on a rig/platform, because infections can spread quickly in close quarters. It is especially important to respond quickly to MRSA and other dangerous Staph infections. Prevention is also essential (and cost effective) for less dangerous infections such as colds and flu. Countless man hours are lost each year to infections that could have been prevented.

In this course you will learn to recognize and treat MRSA and other Staph infections; and how to prevent infections and outbreaks through personal hygiene, first aid, and good housekeeping.
