Interactive Safety Training for Employees
An interactive COVID-19 safety training program, recently launched by the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) and Direct Education Worldwide (DEW), is looking to help businesses reopen safely.

COVID SMART teaches and tests knowledge of COVID-19 and basic infection prevention measures to workers through short online modules and animated videos. DEW developed the content with clinical input and oversight from APIC.

The program will be distributed primarily to non-healthcare workplaces to ensure that schools, commercial offices, government agencies, retail stores, shopping centers, factories and processing plants are “COVID Smart” when they reopen.

“APIC is pleased to partner on this innovative educational program,” said 2020 APIC President Connie Steed, MSN, RN, CIC, FAPIC, in a press release. “With COVID SMART, we have the opportunity to share safety training expertise with the broader community so that businesses and other establishments can reopen safely.”
