Reflection question: Effective cleaning and disinfection practices reduce the risk of transmission of infections to health care workers and patients. What can you do at your workplace to support effective cleaning and disinfection?

At my workplace I always follow the proper practices for effective cleaning and disinfecting practices.
In order to support this I make sure that we are stocked with any cleaning or disinfecting products we need. I also think it’s really important when orientating new staff, to make sure they are aware of the proper procedures and the steps to follow if they run into difficulties, including where to get more supplies from.

At my workplace, to ensure effective cleaning and disinfection, I make sure to clean and disinfect any equipment I use between patients, such as blood pressure cuffs, stethoscopes, and thermometers. I also follow the proper procedure by cleaning first, then disinfecting, because disinfecting is less effective on dirty surfaces.

I adhere to the right practices and apply certified disinfectants on shared equipment and high-touch surfaces to promote efficient cleaning and disinfection. To avoid cross-contamination, I wash my hands both before and after cleaning duties. In order to guarantee consistent infection control procedures, I also raise awareness among colleagues.
