Scrubs Reminder
SCRUB POLICY # RH-SP-RM 01:11
Surgical attire is worn to promote high level cleanliness and hygiene within the surgical environment and to provide a barrier to contamination that may pass from personnel to patients, patients to personnel, as well as from personnel to sterile instruments. Additional protective barriers are worn in order to prevent exposure to blood or body fluid contamination during the reprocessing of instruments and equipment. Scrub suits are appropriate for designated areas (e.g. OR and L&D). In all other areas, a long white coat must be worn over the scrub suit.
• Hospital provided scrubs are to be worn inside the hospital only.
• Scrubs are not to be worn outside for breaks or smoking
• Scrubs are not to be worn while traveling between hospitals
• Scrubs are not to be worn home; or to and from work
• Before leaving the hospital, staff should change into street clothes and deposit used scrubs in the laundry hamper
