New to infection control

I have recently accepted an Infection Control position at the hospital where I already work on the Med/Surg floor. The person that was in this position has taken on a new role at our facility and is extremely busy, therefore, does not have much time to orient me. I have been given an office and all the manuals and books relating to this position. I am just a little overwhelmed with it all, I mean I am not sure what I should be doing daily/weekly/monthly etc. I sit in my office and wait for someone to give me some orientation. Any suggestions?
