Hi everyone,
I’m looking for examples of health facility ‘official’ Precautions signage for outside a patient room (particularly COVID-19 precautions)
The ACQHSC signage for doors (combined airborne/contact precautions) has gloves and gown coming off inside the client room, then exiting to complete doffing.
SA Health have excellent donning/doffing posters, but point to ACQHSC for room door alert signage.
For various reasons relating to high risk care setting, I am not keen on using the ACQHSC signage and creating an accumulation of PPE inside the client room – but also don’t want to go down the path of just ‘making up’ signage or changing the official ACQHSC poster to suit our setting.
Any pointers?
Kind regards,
CathiCathi Montague

We use hazard tape (or chalk on carpet) to prescribe doffing area
immediately outside room. It only needs to be the door width and maybe
600mm deep. It needs to adjacent bins and hand sanitiser within reach of
the zone. It’s best to avoid flip top bins because they generate air
wafting over the top of the waste. Once gloves and gown are doffed staff
member can step out of zone. This system allows signage to be visible,
indicates to staff before they enter a room that it is a red zone room, and
it is less likely that bins will be left overflowing. It also improves
compliance because the doffing process is visible and staff are more likely
to go through each step including handwashing between each step if they can
be seen. Generic signs are ok but after being deployed now to multiple
sites across Qld, sign making to suit the setting greatly improves
compliance. Eg you might improve compliance by signing in the Ist language
of segments of your staff eg Nepalise
Hope this helps

Would be great to see different donning and doffing stations pictures if anyone is happy to share?
