Housekeeping

Hi team!  I hope everyone is enjoying the change in the weather:):)

I have been working in the lab and surgery this past week so I have seen a few things as well as a few things have been brought to my attention that I would like all of us to work on….

1. DO NOT PUT THE CLIPPER BLADES IN WATER!!  If you notice that clipper blades are dirty, then please place them on the counter and clean them with nolvasan if dirty and  and spray with clippercide, once dry, put back in the drawer.
2. When you notice a sharps container getting full, please dispose of it and replace it with a new one.
3. When we have dirty ear cones, please bring it to the lab, clean it and take it back to the room.
4. When you notice the recycle bin in the lab is starting to get full, please empty it into the recycle can.
5. Can I please have a volunteer to take care of ordering rebates and brochures when we are getting low?  Hopefully this will help us not run out.
6. Can I also get another volunteer to take care of the referral forms?  They need to be put in the file cabinet and organized.  Hopefully this will help us not run out.

Please take the initiative to get things done.  Please don’t assume someone else will do it.  When you see that something needs to get done then please just do it.  That also goes for the monitors, dental machine, autoclave, etc…..If one of these is not working appropriately then please troubleshoot the problem.  Most of the manuals are by the machines or upstairs in the manual bin.

Please also double check your charges!

Thank you everyone!  I know we are busy but these things are basic things that need to be done on a daily basis.

I’m happy to help if you have any questions or concerns.  Thank you!
