Take control of infection prevention with this comprehensive safety and infection control template. We created this template to help healthcare facilities implement standardized protocols that reduce the risk of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). With sections covering the ten essential elements of standard infection control precautions—from hand hygiene to safe waste disposal—you can ensure consistent practices across your entire organization.

Recent OSHA data shows significant progress in reducing HAIs, with hospitals seeing a 15% decline in central line-associated bloodstream infections and a 16% reduction in MRSA bacteremia in 2023 compared to the previous year. This template helps you contribute to this positive trend by providing structured documentation for training, auditing, and reporting on infection control measures that protect both patients and healthcare workers.
