Clean-up

Regarding Sandra Markham's query: Handwashing in areas with no
facilities

Depending on the substances to be washed off the hands and the
number of operators needing to use the facility, it may be simpler
(and better for the papers in question) to institute the  practice
of operators taking a polythene bag with them containing a clean,
wet washcloth. This is simple, cheap, environmentally friendly and
easily controlled. We have found it a useful practice when working
in areas contaminated with dust and dirt. With larger number of
operators it requires discipline, identified bins for clean and used
washcloths and a good laundry system.
