What should you do if you cannot immediately clean contaminated laundry?

Securing contaminated laundry in a leak-proof bag and labeling it is the appropriate action to take when immediate cleaning is not possible. This practice helps to contain any potential hazards and prevents the spread of contamination. By using a leak-proof bag, you ensure that any fluids or substances that may pose a risk do not come into contact with other items or surfaces. Labeling the bag is essential for informing other staff members or anyone handling the laundry about the nature of its contents, ensuring that appropriate precautions are taken when the laundry is eventually handled. This approach demonstrates a commitment to safety and hygiene, which is crucial in maintaining a clean and safe environment for everyone involved.
