Medical Facility Cleaning: Meeting OSHA & CDC Standards

Why Healthcare Cleaning Is Different

Medical environments must control pathogens, protect patient privacy, and support accreditation audits. That means cleaning isn’t just about appearance—it’s about compliance. Our healthcare teams follow OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, CDC guidelines for healthcare facilities, and state-specific regulations.

Core Protocols We Implement

• EPA List N disinfectants: Hospital-grade products with documented dwell times.
• Color-coded microfiber: Prevents cross-contamination between exam rooms, restrooms, and public spaces.
• Documented SOPs: Every zone has a written procedure, frequency, and verification step.
• Sharps and biohazard awareness: Staff are trained to identify and escalate incidents immediately.

Exam Rooms and Procedure Areas

We disinfect patient contact surfaces between visits and perform terminal cleaning after scheduled procedures. Checklist items include:

• Exam beds, armrests, and diagnostic equipment
• Drawer handles, cabinet pulls, and light switches
• Countertops, sinks, and splash zones
• Trash removal with regulated waste protocols

Public Spaces Matter Too

Waiting rooms, corridors, and restrooms create first impressions and can become infection reservoirs if neglected. We focus on:

• High-frequency disinfection of seating, check-in kiosks, and door hardware
• Continuous restocking of consumables
• Daily floor care to prevent slips and maintain cleanliness

Verification and Reporting

Healthcare administrators need proof of performance. Anderson Cleaning provides:

• Digital inspection reports with timestamped photos
• ATP testing (available for sensitive areas)
• Corrective action logs and 24/7 escalation paths
• Support during Joint Commission or state health inspections
