Maintain Infection Prevention for Skin Penetration Treatments

HLTINF005 – Maintain infection prevention for skin penetration treatments is a nationally recognised course specifically designed for those looking to undertake any skin penetration treatments such as tattooing, piercing, skin needling etc. This course is a mandatory requirement in accordance with many local councils and governments for treatments previously noted.

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to maintain infection control during skin penetration treatments and to review clinic compliance with the applicable state or territory and local council requirements.

It requires the ability to identify, manage and control infection risks to clients, self, and work colleagues. Therapists work autonomously and make independent treatment decisions.
