Sanitation And Disinfection In Health Care Environments - Sanitation and good housekeeping can both be defined as the practice of rendering the hospital free from agents injurious to health. Microbiology, the study of microscopic living, plantlike organisms, including bacterial, viruses, yeasts and molds is the biological science on which sanitation is based. There are more than 10 communicable diseases known to man. Each one of these diseases or infections is caused by a specific organism. Organisms enter the body through the respiratory tract, digestive tract or through breaks in the skin and multiply, causing tissue injury and body reaction. As the organisms multiply many are shed by the infected person and may be spread to others, thus beginning the cycle again.

Safety Orientation – Custodians - Regardless of your job, safety is an integral part of your responsibility, which means no matter the task you perform, safety must be of vital concern.

Safety Orientation – Nursing - Regardless of your job, safety is an integral part of your responsibility, which means no matter the task you perform, safety must be of vital concern. Let's begin with some basics. The healthcare environment can be hazardous to your health if you neglect safety rules, policies, and procedures. The first step is to learn these policies and procedures, then apply them on a daily basis for each assigned task. We understand that your work is fast paced, you’re busy, there are many things to do, but if you maintain a safety attitude, you'll make the right decision when the time comes to perform all your jobs safely. Certainly, this program cannot cover all possible potential hazards or safety rules, but let's take a few minutes to discuss some of the more important safety tips that can help you prevent accidents.

Chemical Inventory And Safe Work Practices - Although there are benefits from chemicals, whether it’s cleaning products or any industrial chemical, there is a potential for safety and health risks. A hazardous chemical is any product that causes a physical or health hazard. It’s best to assume that any product that requires a Material Safety Data Sheet would be considered a hazardous chemical. This is even more important to our industry as we work with so many different types of chemicals. Some chemicals are fairly safe; however, others can present a significant risk to our personal safety if they are used, handled and stored improperly.

We must be mindful of other important elements relating to chemical inventory and storage such as acquisition, identification, storage, distribution, and disposal. Each element provides an occasion for an accident, but also offers an opportunity to significantly improve safety in our workplace.

Topics covered in this safety video include: Training, best practices, chemical inventory, labeling and identification, chemical storage, storage, and handling chemicals.
