Abstract

Occupational health education serves as a cornerstone in the multifaceted approach to infection control within healthcare settings. The well-being of health personnel is paramount, not only for their own protection but also for the safety of patients under their care and the community at large. In recent years, the emphasis on educating health workers about infection control measures has gained traction, driven by the recognition that informed professionals are better equipped to implement, adhere to, and advocate for effective safety protocols. This introductory section aims to underscore the critical link between occupational health education and infection control, along with the benefits accrued from comprehensive training programs.
