Neftaly cleaning phones at nurse stations
Neftaly Cleaning Phones at Nurse Stations
At Neftaly, maintaining a hygienic environment is crucial to preventing the spread of infections within the hospital. Nurse station phones are high-touch devices that can harbor bacteria and viruses, making regular cleaning essential for staff safety and patient protection.
Key Practices
Frequency of Cleaning
Phones at nurse stations are cleaned and disinfected multiple times daily, especially during shift changes.
Additional cleaning is done immediately if contamination is suspected.
Proper Cleaning Materials
Approved hospital disinfectant wipes or sprays are used to clean phones safely without damaging electronic components.
Soft cloths or wipes are used to avoid scratching surfaces while ensuring thorough cleaning.
Cleaning Procedure
Disconnect or mute phones if necessary before cleaning.
Wipe down the handset, keypad, cord, and base thoroughly.
Allow disinfectant to air-dry before using the phone again.
Staff Training and Responsibility
Nursing and support staff are trained on the importance of phone hygiene and correct cleaning techniques.
Cleaning schedules are documented to ensure consistency and accountability.
Infection Control Benefits
Regular cleaning reduces the risk of cross-contamination between staff and patients.
Supports broader hospital infection prevention policies, particularly in high-risk areas such as ICUs and pediatric wards.
Our Goal
By maintaining clean phones at nurse stations, Neftaly safeguards the health of staff and patients, reinforces infection control practices, and ensures a hygienic work environment that supports safe, high-quality care. -
Neftaly cleaning shelves and storage racks high and low
Neftaly Cleaning Shelves and Storage Racks – High and Low
At Neftaly, maintaining a clean and organized environment is essential for infection prevention, patient safety, and efficient hospital operations. Shelves and storage racks, both high and low, can accumulate dust, dirt, and microbial contaminants if not regularly cleaned. Proper cleaning ensures a safe and hygienic environment for staff, patients, and visitors.
Key Practices
Regular Cleaning Schedule
Shelves and racks are cleaned on a routine basis, with high and low areas included in daily, weekly, or monthly schedules depending on usage.
High shelves are inspected and cleaned using appropriate tools such as dusters with extendable handles or safe step stools.
Low racks and shelving units are wiped down thoroughly at floor level to remove dust, debris, and spills.
Safe and Effective Cleaning Methods
Hospital-approved disinfectants and cleaning solutions are used to remove dirt and microbial contaminants.
Soft cloths, microfiber dusters, or disposable wipes ensure effective cleaning without damaging surfaces.
Cleaning follows a top-to-bottom approach to prevent dust from resettling on lower shelves.
Organized Storage Practices
Items are removed, cleaned, and replaced systematically to avoid contamination.
Frequently used supplies are kept in accessible areas to reduce the need for frequent handling of high shelves.
Staff Safety
Staff use step stools, ladders, or other safe equipment to reach high shelves.
Proper lifting techniques are followed when moving heavy or bulky items to prevent injury.
Monitoring and Documentation
Cleaning activities are documented for accountability and compliance with infection control protocols.
Supervisors regularly audit shelves and racks to ensure thorough cleaning and maintenance.
Our Goal
By cleaning all shelves and storage racks, both high and low, Neftaly ensures a hygienic and organized hospital environment, reducing the risk of contamination, supporting infection control, and promoting overall safety for patients, staff, and visitors. -
