When it comes to saving lives, hospital cleanliness is as vital as medical care. At Weldon, we don’t just clean; we protect the health of patients and staff. Today we want to tell you about the tasks we perform to maintain safety in every corner of the hospital.
6 Fundamental hospital cleaning staff tasks
1. Disinfection and sterilisation
Disinfecting surfaces, equipment and common areas is one of the main responsibilities of cleaning staff. This includes cleaning beds, door handles, light switches and other frequently touched surfaces using approved disinfectants.
2. Cleaning critical areas
Critical areas such as operating rooms, ICU and isolation rooms require special attention. Staff must follow strict protocols to ensure that these areas remain sterile and pathogen-free.
3. Hospital waste management
Proper management of biomedical waste, such as needles, bandages and other potentially infectious materials, is vital. Cleaning staff should be familiar with the regulations and disposal of this waste to minimise the risk of contamination.
4. Maintenance of floors and corridors
Hospital floors and corridors are high traffic areas that require constant cleaning. This involves sweeping, mopping and applying anti-slip treatments to ensure the safety of patients and workers.
5. Cleaning patient rooms
The cleanliness of patients’ rooms after discharge is crucial. This includes changing bedlinen, wiping down surfaces and ensuring the room is ready for the next person.
6. Infection control
Cleaning staff play an important role in infection control within the hospital. This involves following specific cleaning procedures to prevent the spread of disease.
