PURPOSE OF ORDER:
To establish procedures for cleaning and disinfecting handcuffs and waist chains at the Fire Camp Training Unit.
SCOPE OF ORDER:
This order shall apply to all personnel assigned to or working in any capacity at the Fire Camp Training Unit/PDC-East Facility.
ORDER:
Facility inspections are required daily and weekly to ensure maintenance and cleanliness. Inspections and required cleaning shall be conducted in a manner that demonstrates compliance with Division, Department of Public Health, Cal/OSHA, Board of Corrections, and Title 15 standards.
Each member of the Inmate Fire Training Facility staff shall be responsible for the cleaning /disinfection of handcuffs and waist chains immediately after their use. The cleaning/disinfection process shall be enforced by the shift supervision, with documentation placed into the Title 15 book.
The supervisor on shift shall ensure the procurement, supply, and maintenance of a Pathogen Cleaning Product. The product must state multiple pathogen kill, including MRSA, for compliance. Compliant Pathogen Cleaning Products available and stocked for use in the Fire Camp are Maintex “Turbo Kill” and Maintex “Citra Cide.” Both products are available for order when depleted from the PDC South Warehouse order book.
Maintex “Turbo Kill” is a ready to use disinfectant liquid product (spray on and wipe off 2 minutes later). Maintex “Citra Cide” is a liquid product that is diluted in water at a ratio of two ounces per gallon, and may be dispensed from a spray bottle or bucket.
The appropriate method for cleaning and disinfecting the handcuffs and waist chains is to spray the product on to the surfaces of the handcuffs and waist chains and allow to air dry for ten minutes. The handcuffs or waist chains, when dry, may then be treated with appropriate lubrication products to ensure proper operation and rustproofing.
