Cleaning and Disinfection Clause Samples

Cleaning and Disinfection. (1) In- demnity for cleaning and disinfection of premises, conveyances, and mate- rials that came into contact with poul- try that are infected with or exposed to H5/H7 LPAI will be based on receipts or other documentation maintained by the claimant verifying expenditures for cleaning and disinfection activities au- thorized by this part. Any cleaning and disinfection of premises, conveyances, and materials for which indemnity is requested must be performed under a compliance agreement between the claimant, the Cooperating State Agen- cy, and APHIS. APHIS will review claims for indemnity for cleaning and disinfection to ensure that all expendi- tures relate directly to activities de- scribed in § 56.5 and in the initial State response and containment plan de- scribed in § 56.10. (2) In the case of materials, if the cost of cleaning and disinfection would exceed the value of the materials or cleaning and disinfection would be im- practicable for any reason, indemnity for the destruction of the materials will be based on the fair market value of those materials, as determined by an appraisal. Materials will be appraised by an APHIS official appraiser and a State official appraiser jointly, or, if APHIS and State authorities agree, by either an APHIS official appraiser or a State official appraiser alone. Indem- nity for disposal of the materials will be based on receipts or other docu- mentation maintained by the claimant verifying expenditures for disposal ac- tivities authorized by this part. Ap- praisals of materials must be reported on forms furnished by APHIS and signed by the appraisers and must be signed by the owners of the materials to indicate agreement with the ap- praisal amount. Appraisals of mate- rials must be signed prior to the de- struction of the materials, unless the owners, APHIS, and the Cooperating State Agency agree that the materials may be destroyed immediately. Any disposal of materials for which indem- nity is requested must be performed under a compliance agreement between the claimant, the Cooperating State Agency, and APHIS. APHIS will review claims for compensation for disposal to ensure that all expenditures relate di- rectly to activities described in § 56.5 and in the initial State response and containment plan described in § 56.10.

Cleaning and Disinfection. The time of environmental survival of 2019-nCoV is currently unknown. SARS-CoV may survive in the environment for several days. MERS-CoV may survive >48hours at 20°C, 40% relative humidity comparable to an indoor environment, on plastic and metal surfaces10. Following an event of an ARI case on board, the airline should ensure that cleaning and disinfection procedures are followed consistently and correctly using the licenced products suitable for the aircraft at the highest acceptable concentrations11. Special attention should be given to the zone of risk in the cabin area (e.g. seats, headrests, table-tops, handsets, and other materials coming in contact with the suspected case) where the case was seated, as well as all shared facilities and high-touched surfaces12,13. The service staff who will clean and disinfect the aircraft should be specially trained and apply the standard procedures for cleaning and disinfecting contaminated surfaces with infectious agents using the appropriate PPE. WHO advises the following procedures for cleaning and disinfection in case a public health event has occurred on board9: - Ensure any disinfection is conducted using products licensed for use in the country occupied. The disinfectants must be tested by a certified laboratory according to the specifications of the aircraft manufacturers for material compatibility tests. - Any contaminated items must be handled appropriately to mitigate the risk of transmission: o Disposable items (hand towels, gloves, tissues) should be double bagged and sent to incineration or similar final disposal, according to the States Parties guidelines for infectious waste management. o Reusable items that can be washed and treated/disinfected (gowns or linens) must be tagged and sent to a facility for washing and treatment, as recommended according to infection control procedures, depending on the type of contamination/infectious agent, if known.

Cleaning and Disinfection. Adherence to, and promotion of, hygiene, cleaning, and disinfection guidance set forth by DOH and CDC, including strategies for cleaning and disinfection of exposed areas and appropriate notification to occupants of such areas; • Contact Tracing: Plans to support local health departments in contact tracing efforts using the protocols, training, and tools provided through the New York State Contact Tracing Program – an initiative between the Department of Health, Bloomberg Philanthropies, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ School of Public Health, and Vital Strategies; and • Communication: Plans to share protocols and safety measures taken by the school with all relevant parties including parents/legal guardians, faculty, staff, students and the local community. • Closure triggers: Identification of the conditions that may warrant reducing in-person education or closing the school, in consultation with state and local health departments, and plan for an orderly closure; • Operational Activity: Determination of which operations will be decreased, or ceased and which operations will be conducted remotely; include process to conduct orderly closures which may include phasing, milestones, and involvement of key personnel; and • Communication: Plan to communicate internally and externally throughout the closure process. Pre-K through Grade 12 schools involve a variety of activities depending on their specific educational and extracurricular programs and services, and, as such, should reference relevant “industry-specific” guidelines provided by DOH – and available on the New York Forward website – for operations of food services, office workspaces, transportation, and other activities, as applicable. Specifically, operations of cafeterias and other food services must operate in accordance with “Interim Guidance for Food Services during the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency” with additional precautions for students that are contained herein, such as social distancing between students or cohorts of students. Administrative functions must operate in accordance with, “Interim Guidance for Office-Based Work during the COVID- 19 Public Health Emergency.” Transportation services administered by the school must operate in accordance with “Interim Guidance for Public Transportation Activities during the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency” with additional precautions that are contained herein. Interscholastic athletics are not permitted at the time of publication and must only operate ...

Cleaning and Disinfection. Studies demonstrate that cleaning followed by disinfecting contaminated areas can control outbreaks and prevent the spread of norovirus (Heijne et al., 2009; Park & ▇▇▇▇▇▇, 2011). Due to the high transmissibility of norovirus via contaminated environmental surfaces (▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2012), increasing the frequency of high-traffic and affected areas as well as paying closer attention to commonly touched surfaces, i.e., door handles, keyboards, is recommended to decrease the spread of norovirus (▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2009; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2011). Further, to reduce risk of spread to unaffected areas, cleaning should occur from unaffected to affected areas, following a low-contamination to high-contamination cleaning pattern (MacCannell et al., 2011). The use of appropriate products to clean and disinfect is an important aspect to controlling and preventing norovirus outbreaks, as discussed previously, norovirus has a high resistance to common disinfection products and is environmentally stable (▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2006; ▇▇▇▇ et al., 2010). A bleach solution at a concentration of at least 1000 parts per million (ppm) sodium hypochlorite prepared fresh daily has been shown to be the most effective product against norovirus (▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 2004; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇, ▇▇▇, & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 2012; ▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2010; ▇▇▇▇ et al., 2013). However, guidelines suggest that in circumstances where bleach is unavailable, corrosive to the particular material, or adversely affected, to utilize the EPA products on List G (EPA, 2009; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2011). Soft furnishing, i.e., carpets, chairs, rugs, typically fall into this category of using EPA List G products. Recommendations suggest that soft furnishings should be steam cleaned after appropriate cleaning of detergent and warm water. Carpet, which was improperly cleaned (vacuumed daily for 2 weeks), was determined to be the culprit in an outbreak that occurred more than 2 weeks after initial norovirus outbreak (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 1997).

Cleaning and Disinfection. All premises, conveyances, and materials that came into contact with poultry that were infected with or exposed to H5/H7 LPAI must be cleaned and dis- infected. Cleaning and disinfection must be performed on all buildings that came into contact with poultry that were infected with or exposed to H5/H7 LPAI within a premises, includ- ing pumphouses and service areas. To accomplish cleaning and disinfection, the following procedures should be completed: (i) Disposal of manure, debris, and feed. Clean up all manure, debris, and feed. Compost manure, debris, and feed by windrowing in the house if possible. If this is not possible, set up a system for hauling manure, debris, and feed to an approved site for burial, piling, or composting. Manure, debris, and feed may be removed from the house or premises and disposed of by composting it on site, leaving it in a undisturbed pile on site, or removing it from the site in covered vehicles. Land applica- tion of manure, debris, and feed should only be performed in accordance with the initial State response and contain- ment plan described in § 56.10. Clean out the house or move or spread litter as determined by the Cooperating State Agency and in accordance with the initial State response and contain- ment plan. If composting is used as a disposal method, manure and litter should be composted in accordance with State and local regulations. If lit- ter is piled, the litter pile must be cov- ered and allowed to sit undisturbed for an amount of time approved by the Co- operating State Agency and APHIS and in accordance the initial State re- sponse and containment plan described in § 56.10. Drying and heat in situ over time are effective and may be used in place of composting if weather condi- tions or conditions in the building are favorable. After use, equipment used to clean out manure, debris, and feed must be cleaned, disinfected, and in- spected at the site to which the ma- nure and litter was transported. In the case of inclement weather, the equip- ment may be cleaned, disinfected, and

Cleaning and Disinfection a. The Vendor must establish cleaning, and disinfecting schedules for the various work areas and high touch point surfaces. Vendors must establish practices for custodial cleaning prior to completing disinfection. Vendor must follow the cleaning and disinfecting protocol based on different occupancy, suspected case or confirmed case found in Vendor’s Infection Control Program.

Cleaning and Disinfection. Hand sanitizer stations have been installed throughout each building and on each bus. Students and staff are encouraged to use hand sanitizer each time they enter and exit the building and the classroom. Building cleaning and disinfection will take place each day; traditional methods of cleaning as well as electrostatic sprayers will be used. All high-touch areas (door handles, railings, etc.) will be cleaned and sanitized multiple times throughout the school day.

Cleaning and Disinfection. Physical cleaning is defined as the removal of urine, fecal matter, and other organic material from the environment (▇▇▇▇▇▇ 2004; ▇▇▇▇▇ 2005). Cleaning should result in a visibly clean surface, but may not remove all of the harmful pathogens. Disinfection is the process that will kill most of the contaminants in a given area (▇▇▇▇▇▇ 2004). Sanitation, for the purposes of this document, is defined as the combination of cleaning and disinfection, and is a requirement for all shelters. Whether or not infectious disease occurs is dependent on several factors: the host (exposed animal), the virulence of the pathogen, the amount of the pathogen present, and the duration of exposure (▇▇▇▇▇▇ 2006). Infectious dose defines a threshold amount of a pathogen required to cause infection and disease. By cleaning and using disinfectants properly, the number of pathogens in the environment is decreased, reducing the dose delivered if an animal is exposed. Sanitizing with the proper frequency decreases the duration of exposure. In the event of a disease outbreak, sanitation protocols and practices should be reviewed to determine if there are problems with the products or practices.
