and stool contamination should be treated as an infectious clean, unless they are blood • stained. How to deal with it: i. If the spillage is about an incontinence pad size – Spread the NaDCC granules generously over the spillage, leave it for 3-minutes (this allows the granules to kill the bloodborne viruses). Move the yellow clinical bin close to the spillage. Three minutes later, remove the spillage using the kit supplied with apron & gloves and dispose of it directly into the clinical bin. (NaDCC brand products are: Haztab, Chlor Clean and Actichlor Plus).

Then wipe the area over with 10,000 parts of chlorine base solution (make sure that the windows and doors are open when using chlorine base solution).
