Description

Take one step into a Sterile Processing department and you are immediately surrounded by chemicals. There are detergents, pretreatments, disinfectants, lubricants, descalers, fixatives, sterilants, and more. Some are flammable, others corrosive, and still others dangerous to our health. How do you even begin to educate your technicians on this wide range of chemical complexity? On our final episode of Season 15, we wrap up "The Chemical Epicenter" with Kenneth Batton, Beyond Clean Advisory Group member and Educator at Penn State Health to discuss the basics of cultivating a love of chemical knowledge in our technicians from their very first day in the department. Tune in for tangible ideas and takeaways for your team to build safer departments, higher chemical competency, and greater effectiveness with your chemical usage. And thanks again for making Season 15 an historical, record-breaking season for our team at Beyond Clean! We love you #CleanFreaks! Season 15 episodes are individually approved for 1 CE, so once you finish this interview, you can download your CE certificate immediately by passing the short quiz linked below each week.
