Common gaps include relying on one protective item, unclear disposal arrangements and records that do not show which training was completed. Review the process around the work, rather than treating a certificate or a tidy photograph as the whole answer.<\/p><nav aria-label=\"In this guide\" style=\"margin:24px 0 32px\"><ul style=\"padding-left:21px;list-style-type:disc\"><li style=\"margin:0\"><a style=\"display:block;min-height:44px;padding:10px 0;line-height:24px\" href=\"#guide-controls\">Relying on only one protective measure<\/a><\/li><li style=\"margin:0\"><a style=\"display:block;min-height:44px;padding:10px 0;line-height:24px\" href=\"#guide-products\">Guessing product or equipment instructions<\/a><\/li><li style=\"margin:0\"><a style=\"display:block;min-height:44px;padding:10px 0;line-height:24px\" href=\"#guide-handover\">Leaving responsibilities unclear<\/a><\/li><li style=\"margin:0\"><a style=\"display:block;min-height:44px;padding:10px 0;line-height:24px\" href=\"#guide-evidence\">Treating attendance as completed learning<\/a><\/li><li style=\"margin:0\"><a style=\"display:block;min-height:44px;padding:10px 0;line-height:24px\" href=\"#guide-review\">Make the next review specific<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><h2 style=\"margin:36px 0 16px\" id=\"guide-controls\">Relying on only one protective measure<\/h2><p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/infection-control\/hcp\/basics\/standard-precautions.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CDC Standard Precautions overview<\/a> includes hand hygiene, PPE, equipment and environmental cleaning, and needle safety in its healthcare overview.

Different products and tasks can require different instructions.<\/p><p>When a detail is missing, identify the product and the task before asking for help. Avoid replacing a documented instruction with a shortcut because it appears quicker.
