Patient safety tool: Video on proper handling of dirty healthcare linens

TRSA, a global textile services trade association, has released a training video sharing six best practices for nurses, environmental services personnel and housekeepers on how to properly handle soiled linens.

According to TRSA, the best practices laid out in the 13-minute video can aid infection control, improve safety and reduce costs to hospitals and other provider organizations. The video, developed by TRSA in cooperation with the American Reusable Textile Association and Association for Linen Management, is based on best practices from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

The video is available to all healthcare providers at no cost. Find more information here.
