cleaning blood spills

[Catina Eyres]

Hello Team AICAlist,
Can someone please advise of any standards, guidelines, etc. for who is required to clean up blood spills. The Victorian Cleaning Standards don’t make mention of this particular issue, the national guidelines state health care workers, but there is no discussion about when a health care worker is not available, ie. in a community setting where clinical staff are out of the office, thus leaving administration staff.
I would be most appreciative of any assistance,
Kind regards,
Catina
