Abstract

International Brotherhood of Teamsters Consortium (IBT Consortium) developed a Biosafety Preparedness training program in response to the COVID 19 pandemic. In preparation to deliver training to front-line workers, the IBT Consortium is updating its course curricula concerning blood-borne and other infectious diseases that may affect the target populations. To ensure fiscal accountability and sound management practices, the IBT Consortium uses a comprehensive management and administrative structure that provides for multiple levels of review for program expenditures and activities.
