storage requirements
The government agency that regulates and enforces safety and health standards in the workplace is:
OSHA
In order to be considered “Formulated for Hospitals and Health Care Facilities,” a disinfectant must be pseudomonacidal, bactericidal, fungicidal, and:

bleach

wet sanitizer
After each use, linens and capes or drapes that come in contact with a client’s skin should be laundered with:
bleach
Some implements have parts that cannot be immersed in liquid but must still be disinfected, such as:
nail drills
An EPA-registered disinfectant with bactericidal, fungicidal, virucidal (and in some states tuberculocidal) efficacy should be used to disinfect foot spas:
after each client
Foot spas should be filled with a 5 percent bleach solution that should be left to sit overnight:
every two weeks
Cotton balls or wipes used in cleaning up a blood spill should be:
double-bagged before disposing
