Sikafloor 315n Case Study

Lee:

Sikafloor 315N (Polyurethane floor coating) has been specified for PHLab BSL-3 flooring and wall coatings due to its superior chemical, stain and abrasion resistance. However, it is not approved by DPH-EHS (Environmental Health Service) because of high VOC. Sika submitted the letter (attached) explaining the benefits and low safety risks of Sikafloor 315N may exhibit for DPH-EHS’s review and it is still not acceptable. DPH-EHS also thinks that Sikafloor 315N would be overkill since the lab will be using the standard cleaning agents.

Dr. Masinde informed me that they plan to use the facility standard cleaning agents unless there is a spill then they use special kits to clean. The list of disinfectants used in the PHLab Biosafety

    Although medical and nursing staff employ the use of standard and additional precautions the single most important thing that staff can do whilst working is perform effective hand washing to reduce the risks of cross contamination. Everyone has some form of resident flora on their body, this helps the host to stay healthy but when this resident flora is transferred by contact to another person this may cause the person to become ill. In addition to this resident flora a person picks up infectious particles through contact with other people or environmental surroundings (Koutoukidis et al, 2013, p 361). The most effective way an enrolled nurse or other health care workers can decrease the risk of transmission of these infectious organisms is…

    Hydrochloric acid is known for its high acidity and its tendency to react with and eat through nearly any material with which it comes in contact, which makes it a potentially dangerous chemical to work with. Soon after its creation, however, the acid is neutralized by a concentrated base, namely calcium salts, and can be disposed of easily, posing no threat or harm to the environment [3]. The second acid, sulfuric acid, is also highly acidic and is a danger to the environment if not disposed of properly. After the sulfuric acid is utilized, it is then used to create gypsum which is necessary for the creation of other products such as concrete…

    I feel that this is an experience that every student in healthcare should go through. One of the most important observations that I made concerns the various procedures of preventing infections in the operating room. The prevention majorly focuses on the patient, especially when considered the patient has open sounds during the operating process. At times, the practitioners tend to forget the importance of cleaning their hands with soap and water or with alcohol-based cleaners when interacting with the environment (Scott, Earl, Leaper, Massey, Mewburn, Williams, 1999). Notably, the assumption that the practitioner does not need to clean hands simply because they have gloves is misplaced, and it is often overlooked (Weber, Anderson, &Rutala, 2013; Karki& Cheng, 201)).…
