INFECTION CONTROL TEAM

Employ a qualified infection

WASHING

The simple things matter the

most, and said that it is easy

for staff to get complacent
about hand washing. hand

GIVE THE TEAM THE RIGHT

TOOLS FOR THE HAND WASHING

REMEMBER THAT RESPIRATORY

HYGIENE MATTERS TEACH THE
HEALTH CARE STAFF ON

Supply visual alerts to remind staff and patients to cough or
sneeze into their arm and to cover their mouths. "You do not want
people coughing and hacking in your waiting room," , because the
issue matters to patients who do not want to get sick. It is
recommended providing tissues and proper waste receptacles for

ABOUT PROPER STERILIZATION
That every piece of
