Hi everyone,
Just came across this snippet in a Standards Australia e-newsletter – see
attached. This is the first I have heard about it – so I am hoping that
practitioners out there have been involved in some way.Regards

Hi Terry,
I am gobsmacked that such an important Standard could have gone unnoticed.
I had no idea. Hopefully they had a good representation of Infection
Preventionists as stakeholders!!Regards, Terry

To answer your question about who has been involved in the drafting of this standard, I think the list of bodies mentioned in the draft standard makes this clear:
The following interests are represented on the committee responsible for this draft
Australian Standard:
Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry
Australian Medical Association
Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation
Consumers Federation
Department of Defence
Hand Hygiene Australia
Human Factors and Ergonomics Society of Australia
Medical Technology Association of Australia
Queensland Emergency Medicine Research Foundation
Royal Australasian College of Physicians
Safety Institute of Australia
Together Queensland
University of New South WalesNot an ICP in sight in that lot that I can see.
I would encourage all ICPs to review and provide feedback through the process outlined.
Cheers

Thanks Terry,
The Australasian Health Facility Guidelines are also being revised it would seem worthwhile that the College have the opportunity to provide input into both of these documents.
I am currently providing advice on a new hospital build, and in NSW funding is tied to the AHFG as it relates to the placement of Hand Hygiene facilities, and the selection and type of hand basin for each acute/treatment area.The AHFG currently does not insist that a Handbasin be co-located within the patient zone in Emergency Departments. The AHFG documents a contradiction regarding the number of Hand Hygiene Facilities to be supplied within the Emergency Department. The current AFHG considers a hand basin for 1 to 4 beds is adequate.
A contradiction is documented in the AHFG regarding the type of hand hygiene facility to be supplied related to the expected function of the hand basin. For example a type B sink is often recommended, when a clinical Type A hand basin is preferred relative to the function. a Type B sink is smaller and the shape is not effective for aseptic procedural handwash/scrub because that hand set contaminated (not fit for purpose).Emergency Department treatment bay functional brief is to assess and treat patients with acute conditions. This often involves insertion of peripheral intravenous cannula, and other aseptic procedures. One might question the rationale of the AHFG if a hand basin is not available within the patient zone, and is not fit for purpose in a patient zone where aseptic practices are performed.
It is a great opportunity for ACIPC members to comment on the placement of hand hygiene facilities/materials, in the revision of AHFG and Standards Australia AS1071.
Would it be possible for the ACIPC to send out to the members the details of where comments can be sent for the AS1071, and for the revision of AHFG submission and the due dates please.Kind regards

michael.wishart@svha.org.auApparently the draft standard document on the website comes up as expired. To access a fresh, unexpired copy, go to the SAI Global website and download your very own free draft version via this link:
http://infostore.saiglobal.com/store/Details.aspx?ProductID=1771196
Hopefully that link will take you directly to where you can download the draft AS 1071. You may have to create a free account to do this, but it will not charge you to download this document.
