As such, the Management Committee is responsible for ensuring that the premises are cleaned regularly and that a good standard of cleanliness is achieved overall. Washing and toilet facilities are provided and maintained. Any shortcomings should be reported immediately to the Management Committee who will ensure that the necessary action is undertaken.
The Provision's premises are designated as No Smoking.

Maintaining hygiene standards is crucial for preventing the spread of infections and ensuring overall health and safety in various settings, such as healthcare and food service. Adhering to principles for avoiding cross-infection—such as regular handwashing, using personal protective equipment, and proper sanitation—helps minimize the risk of pathogens transferring between individuals or surfaces. This is particularly important in vulnerable populations, where the consequences of infection can be severe. Ultimately, consistent hygiene practices protect both individual and public health.
