    Hi All
    I am buying new linen skips for our small hospital
    I intend to purchase lidded skips for use with contaminated linen, with foot pedal operation.
    My question is, do skips require a lid for use with soiled lined?

    Kind Regards
    Lyn

    Hi Lyn,

    Not sure about requirement but we mostly only have lidded skips and
    don’t buy open ones at all. The lids can and do break, however the
    bigger problem is that staff think it’s a great place to sit things like
    clean linen. It has taken me a long time to get staff on the ward I work
    to stop collecting a linen skip, putting a pile of clean sheets on top
    and taking it to the patients room to go make 6 beds. That said I feel
    it is prudent to have a lid specifically for soiled linen at least. I
    like them for all linen really. Just make it clear form the start that a
    dirty linen skip in contaminated and clean linen is not to be placed on
    it.
