Terminal hygiene
The absence of stock permits unhindered access to
all parts of the building and equipment, facilitating
the terminal hygiene programme of cleaning and
disinfection. As soon as the stock have been depleted,
work should commence.
The sooner the programme is completed, the greater
the reduction in potential pathogens prior to restocking.
There are two basic tasks to be carried out:
1. Cleaning – the purpose is to remove organic matter
and to make all surfaces visually clean.
2. Disinfection – the act of sanitising the ‘clean’
surfaces.
