Mattress cleaning

[Nicola Swindells]

Hi All,

Thank you for your responses, we have had a serious injury from a staff member who was cleaning the underside of the mattress. May I also ask how many staff you have cleaning a discharge room and do you have a Safe work procedure for the task of movement/manoeuvring of mattresses. I know this overlaps into workplace health and safety world but I would appreciate anyone being able to assist.

Kind Regards
