Prior to contacting <br /> Environmental Services for final clean-up and removal of spill collection materials, <br /> spray the spill area with a germicide. The disinfectant should be sprayed thoroughly <br /> over the spilled material. Spraying directly onto or into the spill will disturb as well as <br /> spread the material. Contain the spill by placing absorbent material, disposable <br /> towels. Once the material is contained, it is to be placed into red bags to identify it as <br /> biohazardous waste. If sharps are involved, these are to be placed into sharps <br /> containers for disposal. After all the material is picked up and properly double <br /> bagged, the contaminated area will then be wet wiped or mopped with a fresh <br /> solution of germicide by Environmental Services. Once the area is dry,the barricade <br /> and wet floor sign may be removed. All liquid waste such as the mop water, and rinse <br /> water shall be deposited into the sanitary sewer, and then the containers and sink shall <br /> be sprayed with germicide solution and allowed to air dry.
