The coroner’s concerns
1. Lack of awareness of the potentially harmful side-effects of Haz-Tab granules for urine spillages 2. Limited time given over to the teaching of the side-effects of cleaning products such as Haz-Tab granules at the induction of new staff and at yearly mandatory infection control updates RT3857 3. Lack of clarity on how Haz-Tab granules should be used in clinical spillages 4. An under-emphasis of the potential hazardous consequences from the release of noxious gases when Haz-Tab granules are in contact with urine (with or without contamination of blood)
