Appendix 12: Safety for Cleaning Service

← Back to Biological Safety

The following applies to cleaning the wet laboratory (CLA J26): - The ETH cleaning services shall only clean the floor with conventional detergents. The cleaning staff should not touch, nor clean the desktops and the equipment. - Waste from the general, open waste bin should be removed by the cleaning staff. - If a “no cleaning” sign is displayed at the door, the ETH cleaning services should not clean the laboratory at all, neither they should take away the waste from the general waste container. - Waste from the waste bin placed under the sink can only be handled by the ETH cleaning services if no “biohazard” sticker is placed at the cupboard door. In another case, when the “biohazard” sign is displayed, the staff should not remove, nor open the waste bin.
