We use trigger sprays to dispense cleaning solutions onto surfaces in the hospital to disinfect them. Our infection control person says they should not be used due to aerosols etc, however they are supplied in the said bottles and I would presume they are OK to use . Have any cxlleagues come across this

As with most cleaning products there will be an array of packaging types available A spray is just a more convenient manner to distribute a liquid over a surface.
As you are a hospital is it correct to blow across the surface and lift potential pathogens in to the air where such pathogens are present?
I have seen the same packaging but used differently where the spray is directed at close range on to a cloth which is then used to wipe the surface- Perhaps it is the method of application rather than the actual packaging being challenged.

Rule is to spray on to a cloth and not onto a surface as this prevents forming an aerosol. Use of sprays isn't the issue - its the technique. Try talking to your cleaning contractor about the standards they work to they should be able to quote BICsc standards and techniques.
