Which measures are part of infection control for embalmers?

Infection control for embalmers relies on multiple protective layers that guard against exposure to infectious material. Personal protective equipment protects the skin and mucous membranes from body fluids and aerosols. Vaccination, where available and recommended, reduces the risk of acquiring and spreading certain infections among workers and the community. Cleaning and disinfection of instruments, surfaces, and handling of remains helps remove or inactivate pathogens and prevents transmission during contact. These components work together to minimize risk to both the embalmer and others. Relying only on cleaning and disinfection omits essential protections provided by PPE and vaccination, making the overall approach less complete.
