Infection Prevention and Control Signage

Standardised infection prevention and control signage for Standard and Transmission-based Precautions

Print

Standardised signs are available to all health service organisations wishing to increase the awareness of healthcare workers, patients and visitors to the necessary precautions to be applied for all patients (Standard Precautions) and for those patients who require Transmission-based Precautions, due to their known or suspected diagnosis.

The signage is available in several formats using both pictures and icons. Most jurisdictions have also co-badged signage available.

Standardised Infection Prevention and Control Signs

Approach 1

This approach combines both standard precautions and transmission based precautions into a single poster. Photographic images are used to support the special precautions

Approach 2

Approach 2 is the same as Approach 1, but using symbols instead of photographic images

Approach 3

This approach presents standard precautions and transmission-based precautions in separate posters. This approach allows more room for focusing on the precautions, including supporting imagery for the standard precautions

Approach 4

Approach 4 is the same as Approach 3, but using symbols instead of photographic images
