Advice from professionals

Risk

The packing does not meet the expected barrier properties (risk of infection)

Any packing or wrapping system, other than dirty laundry collection bags, specially designed for this purpose must be avoided (e.g. bin bags, sheets knotted to form bundles).

Do not use RED bags, as this colour is only for transferring “at risk” laundry.

Only use textile bags. Plastic bags are more expensive and encourage mould to form which can seriously alter the fibres of the textiles.

The colour of the bag must indicate its contents, not its origin. The origin will be written on the handle at the bottom of the bag.

Laundry bags must always be closed correctly once they are full.

Always use clean collection bags that close properly and are in good condition.

For ergonomic reasons, do not fill bags more than two-thirds full.

The maximum ideal load should not exceed 10 kg.

Risk

Risk: Cross contamination (risk of infection)

 

Dirty laundry must be packed without it coming into contact with clean laundry.

Mixed trolleys (clean and dirty) must never be used:

use lightweight collection trolleys that are easy to clean and disinfect.

Closing the collection bags must not generate aero-biocontamination: the type of collection trolley used (with or without cover, with or without foot pedal…) must be chosen in accordance with the risks

of aero-biocontamination and cross contamination.

The dirty laundry collection bag support trolley must be regularly cleaned and disinfected.

The dirty linen area must be at lower air pressure compared to the clean linen area.
