Hygiene and Cleaning |
Adopt good hand hygiene practices: | We will wipe down key spaces, surfaces and objects (such as benchtops, door handles, team benches, keys etc regularly). Further we will: - Promote and provide hand washing guidance to all participants and volunteers (http://www.who.int/gpsc/clean_hands_protection/en/); - Promote regular and thorough hand washing by volunteers and participants; - Provide sanitising hand rub within the venue and refill regularly; - Replace/refill soap in toilets regularly; - Place bins around the venue. |
Ensure hand sanitiser is accessible at the venue entry and throughout the facility or ground: | We will provide hand sanitiser within the venue and ensure it is regularly refilled. We will encourage players, officials, volunteers, and/or their parents/carers to carry personal hand sanitiser to enable good personal hygiene. |
Ensure bathrooms are well stocked with hand soap and paper towels: | We will: - Refill soap in toilets regularly. - Refill paper towel dispensers in toilets when required. - Place bins around the venue. |
Provide visual aids above hand wash basins to support effective hand washing: | We will promote and provide hand washing guidance to all participants and volunteers: (http://www.who.int/gpsc/clean_hands_protection/en/) and display hand washing guidance in all toilets, changerooms and canteens within our facility. |
Encourage participants to bring their own water bottle, snacks/orange slices and sweat towels. Avoid shared food and drinks: | We will stipulate that all participants are to provide their own clearly labelled drink bottle for their use only. We will communicate to all participants the importance of not sharing any food or drinks. We will not provide any communal drink or food for players such as drink drums, packets of lollies, fruit etc. |
Ensure processes are in place to launder shared uniform items after use, such as bibs or jerseys: | We will encourage players to be responsible for the cleaning of their own playing and training strip (including bibs) and will avoid the sharing of articles of clothing such as volunteer high visibility vests (jacketed marshals will take their own vest home to wash). Where it is not possible for individuals to wash individual items, we encourage safe processes are in place to launder shared uniform items such as non-contact collection of these items (ie. players to place gear directly into a plastic bag) and the wearing of gloves when laundering. |
