The packing does not meet the expected
barrier properties (risk of infection)
• Any packing or wrapping system, other than dirty laundry collection bags,
specially designed for this purpose must be avoided (e.g. bin bags, sheets
knotted to form bundles).
• Do not use RED bags, as this colour is only for transferring “at risk” laundry.
• Only use textile bags. Plastic bags are more expensive and encourage mould
to form which can seriously alter the fibres of the textiles.
• The colour of the bag must indicate its contents, not its origin.
The origin will be written on the handle at the bottom of the bag.
• Laundry bags must always be closed correctly once they are full.
• Always use clean collection bags that close properly and are in good condition.
• For ergonomic reasons, do not fill bags more than two-thirds full.
• The maximum ideal load should not exceed 10 kg.
Risk: Cross contamination (risk of infection)
• Dirty laundry must be packed without it coming into contact with clean laundry.
• Mixed trolleys (clean and dirty) must never be used:
use lightweight collection trolleys that are easy to clean and disinfect.
• Closing the collection bags must not generate aero-biocontamination:
the type of collection trolley used (with or without cover, with or without
foot pedal…) must be chosen in accordance with the risks
of aero-biocontamination and cross contamination.
• The dirty laundry collection bag support trolley must be regularly
cleaned and disinfected.
• The dirty linen area must be at lower air pressure compared to the
clean linen area.
