Infection control advisory

When the problem shows up, lean on the process.

When an infection control problem comes up, the first instinct is to buy a stronger chemical or call another cleaner. That is usually the wrong first move. What the site needs is a specialist who looks at the process already running, finds where it fails, and fixes it with the people who do the work.

Checklist

Run these before you buy another drum.

  • A named lead for infection prevention, and a backup.

  • Cohorting written for the areas where routine breaks.
  • Protective wear on the floor, and staff who can use it in order.
  • Every disinfectant matched to its register entry.
  • A wet time the roster can actually keep.
  • Linen and waste kept off the clean supply.
  • A written owner for moisture, before a crisis.
