Hello everyone,
We are currently undertaking risk assessments in preparation for accreditation. Historically, for posters/flyers etc. we mandate that they must be laminated to ensure they are cleanable and reduce risk for contamination from aerosols/droplets etc.
We have been posed a question related to sign-up sheets in a sub-acute area. These posters are on notice boards for < 8 hours and are for patients to express their interest in group activities.
They are:
1. In an area where risk of splash contamination is low, and
2. They are not a permanent fixture.
Is it appropriate for these to be used without being laminated? I cannot find any relevant guidelines/recommendations/standards that clearly define the requirement in this instance.
Thank you,
