Housekeeping role in preventing infectious disease outbreaks (Cont.)

Assess the risks

➢ The first step in preventing infectious disease outbreaks is to assess

the risks, which involves identifying potential sources, routes of

transmission, and the consequences of infections, as well as

evaluating the vulnerabilities of the target population (guests and

crew).

Develop a plan

➢ The next step is to develop a plan to prevent and respond to

infectious disease outbreaks. The plan should include clear

objectives, roles, and responsibilities, as well as specific actions

and measures to reduce the risks.
