Put on the apron and gloves provided. Face protection is only required if there is a risk of splashing. Unfold the yellow clinical bag and set it up as near to the spill as possible to ensure it is accessible for use during the later steps.

Remove the lid and sprinkle the SoChlor granules over the spill, ensuring it is completely covered. As well as absorbing, the SoChlor granules will also start the disinfection process. This provides additional safety benefits over standard absorbance and reduces the cross contamination risk.

Next, fill the empty SoChlor granules container with cold water up to the line shown. Add all the SoChlor tablets provided to the water in the container. Leave to dilute using the scoop and scraper provided, remove the absorbed spill and excess granules from the site and dispose into the bag. Place scoop and scraper into bag once all material from spill site is removed.

The tablets should now have dissolved in the water. This has created a 10,000 ppm solution, as recommended by the Health and Safety Executive, Department of Health and World Health Organisation. Fully effective against bacteria spores, mycobacteria, fungi and viruses.

Wet the paper towels provided in the SoChlor 10,000 ppm solution. Use the wetted paper towels to wipe the spill area and any splashes, always wiping in an S-shape motion. Dispose of used paper towels in the bag provided. Pour remaining solution down sluice or sink with running water. Be careful not to contaminate handles with gloves. Then, put the empty container in yellow waste bag provided.

Remove gloves first. Pinch one glove at the rest without touching the skin of the forearm and peel away from the hand, turning the glove inside out. Hold the removed glove in the gloved hand. Hook the index and middle finger of the bare hand inside the remaining glove, taking care not to touch the outside of the glove.

Dispose in yellow clinical bag provided to remove apron, break the neck loop and waist straps. Avoid touching the outer surface of the apron with your hands. Roll the apron downwards from your chest so the contaminated outer surface is folded inwards. Dispose in yellow clinical bag provided. Close bag, ensuring you do not touch the inside. Tie a knot and place bag into appropriate waste stream in accordance with local regulations. Wash hands thoroughly after procedure is complete.
