[Risk of health disorders among women working with precision sterile technologies]
Abstract:
Results of hygienic, clinical, epidemiologic research helped to identify occupational risk factors for female workers engaged into microelectronic devices construction. The studies revealed occupational diseases and reproductive disorders in the females. The higher occupational risk was set for workers subjected to combined effects of complex low intensity factors, intensive work under exposure to chemical hazards.

Cleaning, Sterilization, and Disinfection
Cleaning
The cleaning process usually involves using water with detergents or enzymatic cleaner and removing foreign material from objects and surfaces, including organic material such as body fluids or inorganic material like soil. Cleaning is performed before high-level disinfection and sterilization because foreign materials on the cover of the devices interfere with process...
Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...
Standard Precaution
Hand hygiene is the most crucial means to prevent the transmission of disease. Employers are legally required to provide their workers with personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize exposure or contact with...
