What Protocols Should Be Followed to Manage Wet Surfaces?
To manage wet surfaces effectively, several protocols should be in place:
1. Regular Cleaning and Drying: Surfaces should be cleaned and dried regularly using appropriate disinfectants to minimize the risk of infection. 2. Spill Management: Immediate action should be taken to clean up spills. This includes marking the area and using absorbent materials to soak up the liquid. 3. Use of Mats and Rugs: Placing absorbent mats and rugs in high-risk areas such as entrances and around sinks can help manage moisture. 4. Staff Training: Healthcare providers should be trained on the importance of maintaining dry surfaces and the correct procedures for managing wet areas.
