Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Again, employee orientation and ongoing education are crucial. The orientation should include not only cover protection of the employee but protection and management of supplies as they reach the consumer. The consultative role of the infection control person is also valuable, especially with regard to sterilizers and to sterilization and equipment management. Employees also need to understand the principles of effective sterilization, disinfection, and basic sanitation. There also need to be documented maintenance and surveillance of sterilization equipment.
