Personal Care Routines

A provider requested for the following questions to be posted:

i) Some staff members are unable to use bleach due to health concerns. The provider uses a product called “Germ Clean.” The label on the bottle indicates that it is effective bactericide, but does not indicate if it is a hospital-grade sanitizer. What is the best resource to determine is this will be acceptable for the ERS requirements?
ii) When using a hand dryer during the hand washing procedures, the staff understands that the faucet must still be turned off with a paper towel. They were wondering if there were specific requirements for drying hands with the hand dryer. Please provide the page where the information can be located.
