In fact, in recent years, many health workers have not been updated with information on safe injection and medical solid waste management. Therefore, training courses on this issue are very necessary for the current nursing team.

At the training program, trainees were provided with information about safe injections (TAT), which are injections that do not harm the person receiving the injection, do not expose the person administering the injection, and do not leave hazardous waste for the community.

After the training course, trainees will have improved knowledge, skills, and attitudes in practicing TAT and managing medical solid waste; applying TAT knowledge to practice in caring for and treating patients and managing medical solid waste at the hospital.
