Handwashing Revisited for Laymen and Physicians
[By Staff Reporters]
Some laymen in the office were recently wondering about hand washing. Why do we wash our hands after using the restroom? Why do we not wash our hands prior to “doing our business”? And is it really necessary to wash every single time?
So, after some research, the short answer to that last question seems to be a resounding yes. Want to know why?

Publisher’s Note:
As most ME-P readers are aware, I am a HAI fanatic and even edited and wrote a medical textbook on bone and soft tissue extremity infections, back in the day. And so, for our medical professional readers, this encore report by www.PodiatryPrep.com will review surgical sterilization and disinfection procedures for doctors and surgeons.

Engineering and Medical Work Practice Controls
By Patricia A. Trites; MPA, CHBC, CHCC, CMP™ (Hon)
Dr. Charles F. Fenton, III; JD, FACFAS
Hope Rachel Hetico; RN, MHA, CMP™
Engineering and medical practice controls are methods used to isolate or remove bloodborne pathogen hazards from the workplace. These practices should be used to eliminate or minimize employee exposure by removing the hazard or isolating the employee from the exposure. However, where occupational exposure remains after institution of these controls, personal protective equipment [PPE] must be employed, as described below.
Engineering Controls
Engineering controls can be described as those an employer purchases and makes available to protect his or her employees. Examples are sharps containers, eye-wash stations, spill-kits, and safer needle systems. It is the employer’s responsibility to implement and maintain a system for ensuring engineering that controls are used. The engineering controls must be examined and maintained or replaced on a regular schedule to ensure their effectiveness. Conducting only an annual review of the engineering controls is inappropriate under the OSHA Standard.
Healthcare Work Practice Controls
Unlike engineering controls, healthcare work practice controls depend upon the behavior of the employee to reduce exposure. Examples are hand washing, utilizing universal precautions, and wearing appropriate PPE. Even with properly implemented work practice controls, exposure can still occur. Some of the engineering and work practice controls that must be addressed (if applicable to the specific healthcare organization) within the employee control plan [ECP] include:
Assessment
These engineering controls must be examined and maintained or replaced on a regular schedule to ensure their effectiveness. Conducting only an annual review of the engineering controls is inappropriate under the OSHA Standard.
Conclusion
How has OSHA affected your practice? Or, is it so 1999?
