Healthcare workers including doctors, nurses, lab technicians and others work very hard to keep us healthy and to help us get well when we are sick or injured. They have a very important job and, in many hospitals, you will notice that the medical team all have different coloured uniforms, or “scrubs” as many call them.
Doctors might have blue scrubs with white lab coats, while lab technicians might have a different colour and nurses an entirely different colour as well. This helps staff and patients denote who is who and what medical professional can help them the most when they need it.
To help our medical professional, adding in a place for them to store all their necessity is an important factor to consider. With that in mind here are some other essential tips for hospital lockers.
Keep Hospital Locker Rooms Bacteria-Free with HDPE Lockers
HDPE is a heavy-duty plastic material that can be manufactured into lockers, shower stalls, bathroom partitions, and more. This durable material is naturally resistant to bacteria and incredibly easy to clean. HDPE is also coloured all throughout and not painted over so cleaning staff can wash the surface without fear of damaging the colour.
In addition to limiting the growth of bacteria, HDPE is resistant to dents, scratches, rust, and graffiti. These qualities make it ideal for use in medical facilities as well as schools, government buildings, and more.
Post Visible Warnings
All slip prone areas, such as locker rooms, showers, saunas, spas and pool decks, must include clear and legible caution signs. Consider using this list of popular hospital etiquette guidelines:
- Refrain from using strongly scented products
- Close Your Locker
- Pick Up After Yourself
- Dry Off in The Designated Drying Area
- Inform Staff of Full Hampers
Outfit Your Floors
In many places, public or private locker rooms must feature anti-slip mats that drastically reduce the risk of slip and fall accidents. In addition to its anti-slip properties, many locker rooms mat control germs to eliminate the spreading of common fungal infections like athlete’s foot.
