To compile current regulations and advisory recommendations on cleanliness of worker clothing and personal protective equipment and to evaluate the adequacy of criteria for determining whether cleanliness has been achieved.
Systematic review of information provided by federal agencies (eg, OSHA, MSHA, and NIOSH), nongovernmental advisory bodies (eg, ACGIH, AIHA, and ANSI), and manufacturers of protective clothing and equipment.
We identified an array of terms describing "cleanliness" and the processes for achieving "cleanliness" that were almost never defined in regulations and recommendations. We also found a general lack of criteria for determining whether cleanliness and/or sterility have been achieved.
There is need to harmonize cleanliness-related terminology, establish best practices for equipment cleaning and sterilization, implement a signage systems to provide equipment-specific cleaning instructions, and adopt objective criteria for determining what is "clean."
整理关于工人服装和个人防护设备清洁度的现行规定和建议，并评估确定是否达到清洁度的标准是否充分。
对联邦机构（例如 OSHA、MSHA 和 NIOSH）、非政府咨询机构（例如 ACGIH、AIHA 和 ANSI）以及防护服装和设备制造商提供的信息进行系统审查。
我们确定了一系列描述“清洁度”和实现“清洁度”的过程的术语，但这些术语在法规和建议中几乎从未定义过。我们还发现，缺乏确定是否已达到清洁度和/或无菌性的一般标准。
需要协调与清洁度相关的术语，为设备清洁和消毒制定最佳实践，实施标识系统以提供设备特定的清洁说明，并采用客观标准来确定什么是“清洁”。
