Aged Care Infection Prevention and Control Guide (2024) p-linen: Handle, store and transport linen to prevent contamination

A documented policy covers collection, transport and storage of linen: used linen is handled with care to avoid dispersing microorganisms or touching clothing, stored apart from clean linen and the care area; clean linen is kept in a dedicated, protected space or covered trolley; hand hygiene follows every contact; transmission-based precautions are added for infectious or blood-contaminated linen; and unused linen taken to a trolley is not returned to clean stock.
