In our last post, I mentioned some of the key points in what we call: The Art of Containment designed to help them make great dust containment choices. Again, we define the "art" of containment as 1.) choosing the best tools for the application, utilizing those tools in a competent way 2.) utilizing those tools in a competent way and 3.) looking 'good' doing it (looking safe, serious and professional). The first main element we discuss in the "art" of containment is Patient and Worker Safety -- Protecting those patients and your employees. In this blog, we will focus on Patient Safety and discuss Worker Safety in a few weeks.
Remember, It is the means and methods you use that will ultimately be under scrutiny. Regardless of what containment you choose, you have to use it correctly to reduce the risk involved with the application with the ultimate goal is a rigourous defense against hospital acuired infections. Still, there are some containment options that provide additional elements of safety.
Here are some common safety questions to ask when reviewing containment options and safety concerns regarding patients. I welcome any additional comments you may have.
Finally, the golden rule of containment: If YOU or perhaps your mother/daughter/son/relative etc. were in the patient room nearby, would YOU be comfortable with your containment choice and process?
