ABSTRACT
Once again, here's the advice that the RCN give their members - it's very sensible!
0 Spillages should be dealt with quickly, following your workplace's written policy for dealing with spil lages. 0 The policy should include details of the chemicals stafl should use to ensure that any spillage is disinfected properly, taking into account the surface where the incident happened - for example, a carpet in a patient's home or hard surface in a hospital. 0 Collecting, handling and labelling specimens. A written policy should be in place for the collection and transportation of laboratory specimens.
