5 Moments for Hand Hygiene
![Page 6: Infection Control Induction Program](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061514/568168ab550346895ddf5156/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Hand hygiene Opportunities• Before starting work each day• After coughing, sneezing, touching your hair
or touching your face.• After going to the toilet ( soap & water )• Before and after glove use• Before and after working with food• After mopping, sweeping, removing garbage
or using the telephone• Before and after meal breaks ( Soap & water )
![Page 7: Infection Control Induction Program](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061514/568168ab550346895ddf5156/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Soap & water:
• It is recommended that the AHG is used to decontaminate the hands at all times except
1. When the hands are visibly soiled2. Before meal breaks3. After using the toilet 4. When the build up of emollients are obvious
![Page 8: Infection Control Induction Program](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061514/568168ab550346895ddf5156/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Hand Care
• Caring for the skin on the hands is important- intact skin is a natural defence against infection
• Dry or cracked skin can harbour micro-organisms.
• Cuts and abrasions are to be covered by a water resistant occlusive dressing
• Moisturiser should be used 3-4 times per shift• Moisturiser provided by the hospital only

SWH Hand Hygiene Project
• Hand Hygiene Project• Commenced in 2006- 10% (mean)• SWH current compliance rate is 68% ( October 2012 )
Target compliance rate 70%

Microbial Reservoirs

INFECTIONSWhat is an infection?
• An infection occurs when invading microorganisms cause ill health– Viruses– Bacteria– Fungi– Protozoa– Prions Pain, tenderness, swelling, redness, pus & fever
![Page 16: Infection Control Induction Program](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061514/568168ab550346895ddf5156/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
STANDARD & TRANSMISSION BASED PRECAUTIONS
![Page 17: Infection Control Induction Program](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061514/568168ab550346895ddf5156/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Prevent Infection Transmission
• Standard precautions– Used for ALL patient contacts
• Transmission Based Precautions– Used in addition to standard precautions when
more stringent precautions are required• Airborne transmission – Tb, chicken pox• Droplet transmission – Influenza, flu• Contact transmission- Gastro, VRE, MRSA
![Page 18: Infection Control Induction Program](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061514/568168ab550346895ddf5156/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Use of Standard Precautions
Minimises the risk of cross-infection from:– HCW to patient.– Patient to HCW.– Patient to patient.
To be used for all patients regardless of infectious status or perceived risk.
![Page 19: Infection Control Induction Program](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061514/568168ab550346895ddf5156/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
