In all workplace and public access areas, including healthcare and treatment facilities, the responsibility for cleaning & infection prevention procedures lie with the management.
This responsibility is implemented through the appointed & trained operators.
These operatives, either the cleaners, nurses, or managers must ensure all steps in the cleaning, disinfecting, or sterilization process are performed & recorded in accordance with the Quality Assurance or Practice Procedure Manuals.
The choice of cleaning agents, disinfectants & sterilants’ should be an informed decision and used in accordance with the manufacturers’ instructions.
