3 Essential Cleanroom Behaviors
Maintaining a sterile, contamination-free environment in a cleanroom requires stringent behavioral guidelines. These best practices, or behaviors, can make the difference when guarding against compromising products and outcomes.
At Medco Supplies, we know the best practices for regulating the behavior of cleanroom personnel to maintain strict environmental standards. It often starts with providing the best in cleanroom supplies.
PPE
The correct donning and doffing of personal protective equipment, or PPE, is a nonnegotiable skill each employee must perfect. Masks, gloves, hairnets, shoe covers, arm sleeves, coveralls, beard nets, and more are all equipment that should be readily available to employees and kept in strictly controlled areas. Regular training and reviewing procedures will ensure that they maintain the highest standards with this protective gear.
Personal Care
Cleanroom staff can be the biggest contaminants in a cleanroom environment. Flaked skin, lost hair, or spread bacteria can cause major problems in a strictly controlled environment. Employees must understand the rules for perfume, cosmetics, hair containment, jewelry, clothes, shoes, pens and papers, and cell phones. Using approved cleanroom documentation products, such as anti-particulate paper and low-sodium, non-particle-generating pens, can make a big difference in the cleanroom. Also, maintain strict hygiene practices and hand cleanliness while in the cleanroom.
Environmental Controls
Since airborne particles can be spread with people’s movements, it is essential to reduce the potential of cross contamination of manufacturing surfaces by slowing down, moving carefully, and minimizing conversation. Meeting the highest standard of air filtration with cleanroom standard HVAC, as well as positive air pressure, will help reduce airborne contaminants. Cleanroom sticky mats, strategically positioned, can also provide an excellent defense against particulates.
