What does 10.1-CLEAN require?

Where appropriate the PCBU should close off access to potentially contaminated areas, materials and equipment that pose an ongoing risk and have them properly cleaned and disinfected before access resumes; some items that cannot be adequately cleaned, such as children's toys or a computer keyboard, may need disposal, and biological hazards may need clearing from the air by switching on an air purifier, increasing mechanical ventilation or opening windows. Cleaners should wear PPE suited to the exposure risk, such as gloves appropriate to the chemicals used, a mask and safety eyewear; where another PCBU provides the cleaning service it must be made aware of the exposure risk and followed up to confirm appropriate steps are taken. Afterwards PPE is disposed of or cleaned and disinfected according to the manufacturer's instructions and hands are cleaned properly.

Other controls in Chapter 10 Response to an exposure: reporting, first aid, medical advice, unwell persons, cleaning, work adjustments, emergency plans and notifiable incidents – Australia Model Code of Practice Managing the Risks of Biological Hazards at Work

10.1-ADJUST Support temporary work adjustments for exposed workers (changed location, tasks or leave) guided by the treating practitioner's advice on capacity, to aid recovery, allow quarantine and cleaning of areas and prevent further exposure, in collaboration with the worker and in line with reasonable adjustment law, managing any new hazards; and review the controls after any exposure to decide what changes or additions are needed
10.1-FIRSTAID Provide first aid facilities suited to the biological hazard risks (adequate supplies such as dressings for non-intact skin, eye wash stations), accessible kits suitable for the likely injuries including bite and sting packs for field workers, enough trained first aiders holding the Provide First Aid statement of attainment or equivalent with annual CPR refreshers and three-yearly renewal, additional training for animal bites or penetrating injuries where relevant, and protection of first aiders through vaccination and counselling
10.1-MEDICAL After an exposure or potential exposure do all that is reasonable to respond to the health risk, including timely medical assessment or emergency department attendance, blood tests, post-exposure prophylaxis where HIV or hepatitis B is known or suspected, medical counselling and ongoing health assessment, and seek expert advice such as from health authorities on containing the exposure
10.1-RESPOND Encourage and enable immediate reporting of exposures with clear guidance on what to report and how, respecting privacy; take reasonably practicable steps to address the risk to those exposed while keeping the workplace safe, removing people from unsafe environments and protecting first aiders and cleaners with PPE, ventilation or air cleaning; keep policies and procedures setting roles, first aid, medical assessment, follow-up, reporting and out-of-hours or remote contacts; call 000 in an emergency and notify the regulator of serious incidents
10.1-UNWELL Where someone at the workplace is unwell with a potentially communicable disease, support them to seek treatment, get them to leave as soon as possible and not return until no longer infectious, distance them where removal is not reasonably practicable, support working from home or leave, provide suitable PPE such as P2/N95 respirators, protect close contacts including first aiders and cleaners, and notify close contacts of a disclosed easily spread infection with regard to privacy
10.2 Prepare, maintain and implement an emergency plan covering effective emergency response, evacuation, early notification of emergency services, medical treatment and assistance, and communication between the coordinator and everyone at the workplace, shaped by the work, hazards, size, location and people, covering uncontrolled escape, spill or leakage in laboratories and notification of offsite workers, reflecting incident notification duties, with defined testing, training and accessibility, regularly reviewed
10.3 Notify the WHS regulator immediately of notifiable incidents involving biological hazards (injuries or illnesses needing medical treatment within 48 hours of exposure to a substance, work-attributable infections from handling microorganisms, treating or caring for people, contact with human blood or body substances or with animals or animal material, the listed zoonoses Q fever, anthrax, leptospirosis, brucellosis, Hendra virus, avian influenza and psittacosis from animal work, and uncontrolled escape, spill or leakage posing serious risk), preserve the site until an inspector arrives or directs otherwise, and notify regardless of any public health reporting
