There are over 3,6 million employed in cleaning in Europe. Added to the common hazards faced by cleaners (noise, vibration, slipping, musculoskeletal disorders, stress from long working hours, cleaners in healthcare facilities face additional hazards),there is possible exposure to micro-organisms, blood-borne pathogens, contact with animals and their waste, and infections from salmonella or campylobacter. Evidence has been given by the European Agency for Safety and Health that an increase of infection from noroviruses among cleaning staff for lack of proper training and risk awareness.In many European countries, cleaning trade suffers a poor image and is depreciated. There is need to raise awareness about their part in the healthcare chain. In addition, because of different shifts, early working hours, heavy schedules, it is very difficult for managers to organize group training sesssions in order to train hospital cleaners and get skilled workers performing high quality cleaning in order to avoid the spreading of viruses. The implementation of blended pathways or e-learning training pathway can be a way to ease the upskilling of workers. The H.I.T. project forms a consortium of 7 full partners including 4 vocational schools (initial and ongoing training), a management authority, 1 hospital, 1 cleaning company as well as 3 associate partners (three hospitals) whose aim is :- to enhance the quality and relevance of the learning offer, developing new and innovative approaches and tools and support the dissemination of best practices within the health care industry.- raise the awareness of the importance of cleaners’role in the hygiene chain- enhance the competencies and knowledge of cleaners (as well as VET learners)by designing a promotion video and e-learning didactic materials in order to facilitate an easy access to training on the working place but also to widen the range of tools used in VET schools. The e-learning and interactive materials devised will be as visual as possible to facilitate the acquisition of skills, knowledge and competences to a large audience including non-native speakers, dyslexics, learners with learning difficulties ...The project relies on a strong cooperation between training providers and cleaning professionnals ; they have the common goal of delivering the required competencies to hospital cleaners so as to meet hospitals needs namely avoiding the spreading and contagion of diseases, perform high quality cleaning.
