• Description:
  "MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) can live on high-touch surfaces. Keep surfaces and equipment clean. Use cleaners or detergents for routine cleaning of surfaces. Use sanitizers as needed to reduce the number of germs on surfaces. For surfaces that have drainage from infected skin, clean the surface, and then use an EPA-registered disinfectant to kill the germs. Follow directions on the labels, and use gloves and eye protection as recommended. Frequently touched surfaces include shared work equipment, faucets, shower handles, doorknobs, tabletops, reusable restraints, and exercise equipment." - NIOSHTIC-2
