Respiratory Hygiene and Cough Etiquette Course

Sneeze and wipe away the bad respiratory habits by learning the right cough etiquette!

Strengthen your agency’s infection-control standards with targeted respiratory hygiene training designed for home care, senior care, and healthcare teams. Caregivers learn how respiratory illnesses spread in real-world care settings—from shared household spaces to close client interactions—and how proper cough etiquette can significantly reduce outbreaks in homes, facilities, and community-based environments.

This course equips staff with clear, practical techniques for preventing respiratory infections, including correct covering methods, safe tissue disposal, mask use, and recognizing symptoms early. Caregivers also gain awareness of common regional respiratory risks, seasonal illness patterns, and how to protect high-risk clients in diverse home environments.

With the right skills, caregivers can confidently minimize transmission, safeguard client health, and maintain compliance with local and federal hygiene standards. This training strengthens safety, reduces avoidable sick days, and supports higher-quality care across every home and community you serve.
