TORK LAUNCHES TRAINING PACKAGE FOR HOSPITAL
CLEANERS AND FMs Tork manufacturer Essity has unveiled an interactive training and support package aimed at cleaners and facility managers in the healthcare sector.
Launched in January 2021, Tork Interactive Clean Hospital Training takes FMs and staff through various real world cleaning scenarios in an engaging way.
The online package also incorporates a ‘train-the-trainer’ module to educate facility and contract cleaning managers on how to support their teams and demonstrate optimum cleaning techniques.
“In a healthcare system under pressure, the role of the facilities manager is just as critical in providing care as that of any other healthcare professional,” said Essity’s Professional Hygiene Marketing Director for Healthcare Thomas Bergin.
“Ensuring that the healthcare environment remains a clean and safe place for the patients needs to be a top priority.”
MICRONICS LAUNCHES
PORTAFLOW PF333 AND PF222 Building on its considerable experience and success with the former PF330 and 220 range, Micronics has developed a new range of portable, clamp-on, ultrasonic flow instruments, incorporating the latest technology whilst still retaining the key feature of simple operation, to provide quick, out of the box results.
The PORTAFLOW PF333 offers the user quick and accurate flow and energy measurement and with its easy-to-follow menu and simple set up, results can be achieved within minutes of opening the case. The range continues to bring simplicity to the non-invasive measurement of liquid flow and now with the addition of hydronic liquid flow energy measurement for hot and chilled water applications.

The PF333 is a portable, simple to use ultrasonic clamp-on flow and thermal, heat/energy meter, that uses the latest cross correlation ultrasound flow measurement system to measure flow rate and clamp-on PT100 temperature sensors to measure flow and return temperatures. The PF333 measures
The training takes place in a virtual hospital and incorporates a module on daily cleaning in an occupied patient room, and another on discharge cleaning protocols. Both modules focus on learning by doing and each takes the cleaner through the process in a logical fashion.
The cleaner is first reminded to wash their hands and don PPE before entering the room to be cleaned. Each step of the process is then addressed from picking up debris, emptying the bins and wiping down refuse containers before moving on to other tasks.
The cleaner’s knowledge of frequently-touched surfaces is tested and various tips and tricks are provided such as the need to work from high to low so that no dirt is
dislodged, plus the importance of beginning with the cleanest areas to avoid the risk of recontamination.
Incorporated in the train-the-trainer section is a mini-microbiology school which deals with the dangers posed by the micro-organisms that are potentially present in the healthcare environment.
The training is available in more than 15 languages besides English including French, Spanish, German, Arabic and Somali.
The training modules are based on the Association for the Health Care Environment’s (AHE) Practice Guidance for Health Care Environmental Cleaning.
The Tork Interactive Clean Hospital Training package is free to access at

energy rate and totalised energy and the Hydronic thermal energy, heat or cooling load is calculated from a combination of the flow rate and the flow and return temperature difference or delta T to comply with EN1434 section 6.
The integral Data Logging has a capacity of 100,000,000 data points with 12 named sites and can be downloaded via USB to CSV files and export to Excel for further analysis.
Compact, rugged and reliable, the PORTAFLOW range has been designed to provide sustained performance in industrial environments with the New cross correlation flow measurement system providing improved accuracy for flow and measurement audits of old and often challenging pipe-work in existing installations.
