    Policy Details

14.1    Gloucestershire Industrial Services (GIS) who process all the community loans have their own infection control policy. Staff need to be aware that they should not carry used equipment in their cars due to the risk of contamination nor should they transfer equipment between users without it first being decontaminated by GIS under their infection control procedures. GIS will arrange for the delivery and collection of all equipment.
