Colour coding cuts contamination risk

Posted on Wednesday 13 February 2019

The I-CON glove system from hand protection specialists Globus Group delivers a simple yet highly effective way to help eliminate cross-contamination hazards, whilst maximising hygiene standards.

The colour-coding used by the I-CON glove system follows the guidelines used by the British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc) for the 4 designated aspects of cleaning and hygiene:

–      Red for sanitary appliances and washroom areas

–      Yellow for clinical, treatment and isolation areas

–      Green for general food and drink areas

–      Blue for general areas excluding washrooms and clinical areas

By reflecting the BICSs colour scheme, workers and managers can quickly and easily ensure that the right gloves are being used in the right environments to prevent bacterial transfer. 

This means workers’ hands are protected against the most common chemicals and substances found in contract cleaning.
