How do infection prevention and workplace safety fit together?
Both topics are core and need practical learning.
Which units should appear?
HLTINF006, Apply basic principles and practices of infection prevention and control, and HLTWHS002, Follow safe work practices for direct client care, are core units. Both should appear in the qualification's unit list.
