General Biosecurity SOP
Cleanliness of the premises
Cleaning and disinfection protocol :
- Remove all visible waste: the presence of visible contamination or organic material (in particular faeces) inactivates most disinfectants.
- Wash the area with water and detergent.
- Rinse the washed area thoroughly to remove all residual detergent (some disinfectants may be inactivated by detergents; it is thus crucial to thoroughly rinse the area)
- Leave the area to completely dry.
- Select and apply the most appropriate and effective disinfectant.
- Give the product sufficient time to act (contact time may vary depending on the disinfectant, but it is generally a minimum of ten minutes). Remove all residual disinfectant and leave the surface to dry.
