Dirty laundry can spread germs to other areas and therefore the clean linen
needs to be handled as carefully as the dirty. This requires an in-depth
understanding of laundry flows, the correct use of fabrics suitable to the
task and working practices which ensure the employees are aware of how
their every day actions can impact the laundry operation.
In the current climate whereby hospitals must be able to produce
documentation to prove the quality of the processes used, the laundry flow
implemented must ensure permanent control systems are in place
to minimise and prevent the risk of healthcare acquired infections.
Linen hygiene is a key part of your overall quality process. The following
stages can be tailored to every kind of laundry set up; carrying out an
audit of the existing process, risk assessment, drawing up preventative
measures, creating standard operating procedures and implementing
quality assurance procedures that are evaluated and monitored at various
intervals. In addition, any service provider should be selected according
to specifications and defined hygiene standards.
With this in mind, please take the time to read this “Mini Guide to hygienic
laundry practices based on the RABC system*/EN 14065”.
We hope you find it useful.
