Employees receive special infection control training

Share
Nearly two-dozen health and safety employees and carpenters at Marshall University have received infection control risk assessment (ICRA) training through the Keystone Mountain Lakes Regional Council of Carpenters.

Marshall is the first university to be processed through the council’s district, which includes West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, Washington, D.C., and several counties in North Carolina and New Jersey.

The training instructs workers how to contain pathogens, control airflow, work with minimal disruption and protect faculty, students and staff near construction sites. Training included eight hours of detailed instruction for Marshall employees, plus collaborative leadership training for managers and directors at a conference earlier this fall.
