The entire point of a cleanroom is to stay clean, so doing everything you can to prevent contamination is incredibly important. Without sanitation, cleanrooms do not guarantee quality control or a stable work environment. Employees are essential to the running of any business or organization; however, they are also the primary cause of contamination. Luckily, there are a few techniques you can share with employees that will cut down on human-error contamination.
- Practice Good Hygiene
Humans naturally shed particles, such as skin cells and hairs, as well as particles of hair product, cosmetics, and lotions, all the time. Fortunately, practicing good hygiene can drastically reduce the amount of contaminants shed by humans. Employees should also consider their morning routine before coming into work in a cleanroom environment. Certain aspects of getting ready, such as perfumes or colognes, makeup, or extra lotions, should be skipped to help reduce outside contamination.
- Be Mindful of Hands
Bare hands touching surfaces is an extremely common cause of contamination and spreading of bacteria. When employees touch contaminated surfaces then don cleanroom gear — without washing their hands thoroughly first — they risk spreading those germs into the cleanroom. When it comes to shoes — and shoe covers worn in contaminated areas — the risk is even greater. In fact, our shoes track all kinds of fecal bacteria, so you’ll want to avoid touching them at all costs when applying or removing shoe covers. Automatic shoe cover dispensers and removers are excellent alternatives to manually applying shoe booties, and they come with a wide range of other benefits.
- Ensure Correct Application of Gear
Employees should apply disposable garments from the top down because particles are affected by gravity and tend to fall from our face and hair onto other parts of our body. By starting at the top, employees ensure particles are trapped and won’t fall onto already applied sanitary clothing. Again, automatic shoe cover dispensers and removers are another way to ensure correct application of cleanroom attire. BootieButler’s line of shoe cover applicators and removers are so easy to use, a 4-year-old can do it.
