Give blood safely
December 1st 2011 In 2010 a single contract urgently
needed to be put in place to
achieve uniformity across the
country in the cleaning of NHS
Blood and Transplant (NHSBT)
blood vans. SitexOrbis was
awarded the contract.
The company's teams travel to
the NHSBT offices every 13 weeks
to deep clean vehicles on site.
Before work commences
SitexOrbis uses an ATP (Adenosine
Triphosphate) Hygiena
SystemSURE monitoring system to
measure dirt and contamination
levels.
The deep cleaning process
involves manual steam cleaning
and manual cleaning with
microfibre cloths.A second ATP
test is then conducted. In 2010
when testing the arm rests,on
nine occasions the readings were
equivalent to the cleanliness
standards of an operating theatre.
Any cleaning agents also have
to be non-toxic.Manual cleaning
and fogging uses a chemical called
DuoMax. It eradicates 99.9999% of
airborne pathogens and surface
and makes the fogging process
approximately ten times faster. More articles from SitexOrbis Limited: |
