Posted By Kim Sunley This leaflet from the health protection agency may alay any fears: http://www.hpa.org.uk/in...taphylo/mrsa_leaflet.htm or the association of medical microbiologists: http://www.amm.co.uk/new...s/factsabout/fa_mrsa.htm as they state MRSA does not harm healthy people. MRSA has been isolated in dust on hospital wards so it is more than likely you will be asked to control dust levels to reduce harm to vulnerable people. If in any doubt you can always ask to speak to the Trusts infection control nurse. hope this helps

Posted By jackw. Hi, as others have indicated good hygiene practice is the key. Around 50% of the population carry MRSA (mostly in nasal areas and skin). As has been said dust can spread it around so try and limit/control dust. Also remember MRSA generally attacks vulnerable sick people, particularly the elderly. I am surprised the hospital H&S or facilities manager haven't asked to meet with you and detailed what they would expect from your workers in terms of H&S whilst on their premises especially if the work comes under CDM. Wouldn't do any harm to contact them.
