HLTINF001 Comply with Infection Prevention and Control Procedures

This assessment workbook for HLTINF001 focuses on complying with infection prevention and control policies and procedures within a healthcare setting. It covers key areas such as following standard and additional precautions, identifying infection hazards, assessing risks, and implementing procedures for managing those risks. The workbook includes both a knowledge assessment with short answer questions designed to test understanding of infection control principles and a practical assessment involving identifying hazards, conducting risk assessments, managing risks through control measures, and documenting/reporting findings. The practical assessment uses case studies and simulations to provide a real-world context for learning and application, ensuring students can effectively apply infection control measures in their work environment.

This is a compulsory assessment to be completed by all students. This assessment tests
the student’s ability to understand the underpinning generic knowledge related to the
units of competency.
Reasonable adjustment applies here, and while the majority of students will complete this
assessment as a written assessment, verbal assessment may be an option for those who
need it. The assessor must use the response guide as the principal marking tool unless a
reasonable adjustment is demonstrated.
The assessor guide provides model answers to all the questions, setting out which key
responses must be included as well as indicating where flexibility is acceptable.
Where there are a number of responses required, this is specified to avoid ambiguity. In
these cases, the model answer will provide a list of possible answers. For instance, if a
question requires the student to list three (3) examples, then their response must include
three (3) of the items listed in the model answer.
Note to assessors: Contact details are requested from observers in the feedback forms in
case you will have to call them to verify the content of the feedback forms.
IMPORTANT REMINDER
Candidates must achieve a satisfactory result in ALL assessment tasks to be awarded
COMPETENT for the units relevant to this cluster.

The questions in this workbook are divided into two (2) categories:
 Knowledge Assessment
 Practical Assessment
The questions under Knowledge Assessment are all in a short answer format. The longer
questions requiring creative and analytical thought processes are covered in the Practical
Assessment. You must answer all questions using your own words. However, you may
refer to your learner guide and other relevant resources and learning materials to complete
this assessment.
Some questions cover processes you would likely encounter in a workplace. Ideally, you
should be able to answer these questions based on the processes that are currently in
place at your workplace. However, if you do not currently have access to a workplace, then
answer the questions based on processes that should be implemented in a typical
workplace setting.
Accessing Intranet Pages and External Links
There are instructions in this workbook that will refer you to intranet pages and/or
external links. These intranet pages and external links are formatted in Blue Underlined
Text or sometimes, these may be indicated by pictures and icons. Hold the Ctrl key (for
Windows) or the Command ⌘ key (for Mac) as you click on the text or icon to activate
