    Good afternoon,

    I have tried to look for evidence or a statement on the practice of decanting ABHR into smaller used bottles. I know that this is not best practice but would like to reference this please.
    I understand that some facilities resorted to this when ABHR supply was difficult to obtain, and I wonder if anyone else has had this dilemma and how you managed it?

    Kind regards,

    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    Please see below excerpt:

    A clear decision needs to be made about whose responsibility it is to replace empty alcohol-based handrub bottles. Workplace agreements or job descriptions may need to be changed to accommodate prompt replacement of these bottles. Alcohol-based handrub should never be decanted from one bottle into another as this can cause contamination.
