Preventing and Controlling Cross Infection

Introduction

High standards of cleaning and hygiene are important in all industries but nothing is more important or crucial than the control and prevention of cross infection within medical, clinical, and care environments.

Both carers and patients have a heightened risk of cross infected, due to:

  • Close working conditions

  • Multiple patient contacts

  • The handling of contaminants such as bodily fluids

  • Close contact with many people who are ill/who are susceptible to infection

Universal precautions

'Universal precautions' refers to the standard procedures used by many healthcare establishments to prevent
and control cross-infection. The following information will outline some of these standard practices together
with details of our beneficial services and highly effective cleaning materials for each area.

NB: All workplaces should have written policies in place with regard to cross-infection. The following information

is not a substitute for legal and regulatory requirements/ education and awareness that should be provided by
your employer.
