Specialists in Infection Control & Outbreak Response
Gen 2 has extensive experience providing cleaning services within aged care and healthcare environments, where infection prevention, resident safety and rapid outbreak response are critical.
Our teams are trained to respond to confirmed and suspected infectious outbreaks, implementing enhanced cleaning and disinfection programs appropriate to the facility, affected areas and identified infection risk.
Our infection-control capabilities include:
- Rapid outbreak response, with additional trained personnel available when enhanced cleaning is required.
- Trained teams experienced in infection prevention, cross-contamination controls and isolation-area cleaning procedures.
- Appropriate PPE selection and use based on site requirements and identified risks.
- Colour-coded cleaning systems and controlled movement of equipment between affected and unaffected areas.
- Enhanced cleaning and disinfection of high-touch surfaces, resident rooms, bathrooms, communal areas and other identified risk areas.
- Use of appropriate hospital-grade disinfectants, in accordance with manufacturer instructions and applicable Australian regulatory requirements.
- Steam cleaning and treatment of suitable surfaces and furnishings where appropriate to the outbreak response.
- Controlled management, cleaning and disinfection of equipment, cleaning trolleys and reusable materials to minimise cross-contamination.
- Documented cleaning schedules, task verification and digital reporting to provide management with visibility of completed outbreak-response activities.
- ATP monitoring where appropriate to provide an additional measure of environmental cleanliness following the cleaning process.
- Coordination with facility management and infection-prevention personnel to ensure cleaning activities support the facility’s outbreak management plan.
Whether responding to gastroenteritis, influenza, COVID-19, scabies or other infectious outbreaks, Gen 2 can implement an enhanced environmental cleaning program designed around the specific requirements of the facility.
Our focus is not only on responding effectively to an outbreak, but on maintaining the everyday infection-control standards, staff training and cleaning disciplines that help protect residents, employees and visitors.
