The GBAC Fundamentals Online Course teaches participants the principles behind infection and contamination control measures for infectious disease outbreak situations such as the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). The course covers the following:

• Preventative, response, infection control, and contamination control measures to known or potential infectious disease outbreak situations. This section includes emphasis on the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2).

• GBAC protocol for response and remediation
• Use of personal protective equipment (PPE), tools, and equipment
• Cleaners and disinfectants based on the EPA’s Emerging Viral Pathogens Guidance in the United States

Individuals who successfully complete the course will receive a Certificate of Completion from the Global Biorisk Advisory Council (GBAC), a division of ISSA, and can use the term “GBAC-Trained Technician” to distinguish themselves.

This certification brings increased value to recipients’ employers and customers because it demonstrates the recipient’s competence to carry out their responsibilities and his/her commitment to the standards of excellence and continuous learning.

This program is open to both U.S. and Canadian organizations and individuals. Up to five scholarships may be granted to a single enterprise; each cleaning professional must apply individually.
