Developing a COVID Prevention Program
The Developing a COVID Prevention course provides training on creating and implementing effective COVID-19 safety measures in the workplace. It covers risk assessment and regulatory compliance, equipping professionals with the skills to develop strategies that reduce transmission risks and ensure a safe, healthy work environment.
What is the Developing a COVID Prevention Program?
The Developing a COVID Prevention Program course from the American Institute of Safety Professionals teaches safety professionals and managers how to design, implement, and maintain an infectious disease prevention programme using COVID-19 as the case study and framework. While COVID-specific requirements have evolved since the pandemic’s peak, the programme design competencies this course teaches are permanent: infectious disease hazard assessment, engineering controls (ventilation improvement, physical barriers), administrative controls (screening, cohorting, remote work), PPE management (respiratory protection, face coverings), vaccination policy governance, return-to-work protocols, and the programme governance that enables rapid activation when the next infectious disease event occurs. The curriculum covers infectious disease hazard assessment for the workplace, ventilation as the primary engineering control (filtration, air changes, MERV ratings, portable HEPA, outdoor air percentage), physical barriers and workspace modification, health screening protocols, testing programmes, contact tracing awareness, PPE for infectious disease (N95/KN95 respirators, face shields, gowns, gloves), vaccination policy development (mandates, accommodations, documentation), remote and hybrid work policies, return-to-work protocols after illness, communication and mental health support, regulatory compliance (OSHA guidance, state requirements), and the scalable programme framework that activates for future pandemics. All training is delivered 100 percent online through the American Institute of Safety Professionals LMS. Upon completion, graduates receive a certificate, wallet card, and transcript, employer-verifiable at amiosp.com/student-verifications.
