If outlets are not being used on an occupied dept. / ward for whatever reason e.g. a shower room being used as a store which is not cleaned by Hotel Services then the outlet needs to be flushed twice / week.
If an area e.g. ward is temporarily closed then all outlets in the affected area should be flushed / week.
1) The outlet[s] should be flushed twice a week for at least 3 minutes each time.
-
If outlets have TMVs fitted then the flow of the water should be set to warm.
-
WCs should be flushed.
2) All flushing procedures should be completed whilst trying to minimise the release of aerosol, if an outlet is being flushed without knowledge of when it was last run then the outlet should be flushed completing via the ‘safe purge’ method.
2) Use form C- LEG26 for both of the weekly flushes (Monday & Thursday).
3) The completed record sheet must be return to the Authorised Person [Water].
