Healthcare associated infections (HCAls) can pose a serious risk to patients, staff, and visitors. Here at Otis Cleaning Services we work closely with our clients to develop a comprehensive infection control plan to work and exceed CQC standards in hygiene. One important aspect of an effective infection control plan is ensuring that the workplace/facility is regularly and thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Otis cleaning services can be a valuable resource in achieving this goal, as we have the expertise and equipment to provide a deep and thorough clean.
This plan can include:
• Conduct regular audits of cleaning practices to ensure that all areas are being cleaned and disinfected according to the established healthcare cleaning services plan.
• The use of ATP testing to verify that surfaces are being cleaned and disinfected effectively.
• Implement a waste management plan as part of the medical cleaning plan that includes proper disposal of sharps, infectious waste, and other hazardous materials. This can help to prevent the spread of infections and protect staff and visitors from exposure to hazardous materials.
• Provide ongoing training for cleaning staff on infection control practices, including proper cleaning techniques, the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and the handling and disposal of infectious waste.
At Otis Cleaning Services, our trained and experienced healthcare bolton cleaning technicians provide a highly responsive, end to end service from routine daily cleaning to periodic tasks and ad hoc or on-demand reactive services to dealing with spillages or carrying out routine infection cleans. This can also include planned deep-cleaning, commissioning cleans and HPV (hydrogen peroxide vapor) decontamination cleans which will help prevent medical facility infections.
