Nashville, TN -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/03/2015 -- If contaminated laundry is mishandled, it can impose a threat to the health of all those exposed. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) lists specific imperatives that laundry care providers should follow to make sure that infection prevention efforts are effective. The premium healthcare laundry facility of Tennessee, ImageFIRST, abides by the contaminated laundry regulations set in place by OSHA. Their unique laundry cleaning processes are OSHA compliant so that they can protect their employees, customers and customers' patients from healthcare-acquired infections.
The laundry healthcare specialists handle contaminated laundry by following OSHA's standards, some of which include transporting soiled laundry in containers that are leak-proof, bagging contaminated laundry in the location where they were used, and labeling containers with the biohazard symbol or using red bags. ImageFIRST Tennessee eliminates the risk of infectious materials exposure further by sanitizing their products with the Triple BioShield Protection process, which entails a washing technique that kills up to 99.999% of germs and the application of a protective coating softener that safeguards the products during delivery. The process also includes the encasement of plastic wrap to avoid environmental contamination.
Healthcare facilities can depend on ImageFIRST Tennessee to supply them with healthcare attire and linens that adhere to the infection prevention imperatives mandated by OSHA. Their 5-Point Product Quality System also coordinates with the regulations of OSHA because it ensures that the medical laundry products are comfortable, soft and cleaned with superior sanitation procedures, bright white in appearance, individually sealed, and regulated through the performance of independent lab testing to ensure they meet government standards.
ImageFIRST Tennessee gives credit for following OSHA standards to their amazing Customer Advocates, who are devoted to the core values of the company. To acquire their OSHA-compliant laundry healthcare services, please call 1-800-932-7472.
