Item No.: 41
Site: Housekeeping-Outbreak Prevention and Response Plan
Violation: The Outbreak Prevention and Response Plan (OPRP) did not include pH requirements for using hypochlorous acid (HOCL) as a disinfectant during acute gastroenteritis (AGE) outbreaks. Staff stated HOCL is used to disinfect AGE infected cabins.
Recommendation: Familiarize the Housekeeping Team on the public health reasons for monitoring the pH of the HOCL solution and the correlation between free available chlorine and pH. Acquire a pH meter to monitor the pH of the solution. HOCL is an effective and approved disinfectant at proper parameters. The existence of hypochlorous acid is pH dependent and is dominant in solution below pH 7. At pH 8, one is typically dealing with hypochlorite which is less effective than hypochlorous acid.
