An infection prevention and control manager reported an increase in
hospitalacquired
Clostridium difficile. To help address the issue, the Environmental
Services manager should ensure the Environmental Services staff are cleaning

A chemical with a pH of 10 is how many times more alkaline than a chemical

of one unit pH
represents a tenfold, or ten times, change. A pH of 7 is neutral, and any pH
higher than 7 is more alkaline. Thus, a difference in 3 pH units (pH 10 - pH 7)
represents 10 x 10 x 10, or 1,000 times more alkalinity.
According to the Department of Transportation (DOT), training for hazmat
employees must occur within how many days after initial hire or change in job
