10:30Whole-room disinfection – the impact of changes to regulations


Peter Thistlethwaite, Technical Projects Manager, MSL Solution Providers


Cleaning and hygiene have always been imperative to prevent the potential survival


and spread of microorganisms. In many cleanrooms and sterile environments (e.g. healthcare or food preparation areas), whole room disinfection has been the best process to achieve this, since it enables difficult to reach places to be thoroughly disinfected.


This presentation will focus on two of the most popular techniques of decontaminating cleanrooms: ultraviolet light systems and automated chemical misting (airborne automated disinfection systems) which use chemicals ranging from hydrogen peroxide to formaldehyde and peracetic acid or remote ultraviolet light units. There have been changes to regulations concerning both of these decontamination systems recently. Any facility employing the use of one of these systems should ensure that they are aware of the changes now in effect and whether their system is fit for use under the new guidance.

working hard to look after their families and livelihoods. Cleaning operatives are the unsung heroes of our workforce, enabling society to operate in clean and safe spaces, and yet many still don't earn enough to live a decent life. The Living Wage movement set out to ensure that every hard day of work is rewarded with a fair day's pay. Not only is it the right thing to do, but organisations have also reported that paying their staff the Living Wage has led to improvements in recruitment, retention, organisational reputation, and client relations.


Hear from the Living Wage Foundation and Cleanology about how paying the Living Wage could change your business for the better.
