Principles of cleanroom hygiene

To achieve the best cleaning efficiency in the cleanroom, there needs to be an overall cleaning process, from cleaning walls to floors and work surfaces. These regulations include:

• Attach a monitoring board that details the types of chemicals, disinfectants, or cleaning agents allowed for use in the cleanroom.
• Thoroughly train new staff on how to read and write on the monitoring board.
• Read and follow the instructions for using cleanroom equipment, machinery, and disinfectants used in the cleanroom.
• The cleaning process starts from the dirtiest area to the cleanest area and ends with the exit.
• Use the right cleaning agent specifically for each type of cleanroom.
• When using chemicals, emergency showers or eyewash stations must be readily available.

Principles of personal hygiene

Must regularly shower, bathe, and clean personally thoroughly before entering the cleanroom.

Do not wear makeup, apply hair gel, spray perfume, or use scented lotions.

Employees are not allowed to wear contact lenses, limit coughing and sneezing while working in the cleanroom.

If an employee is a smoker, they must not smoke for at least 30 minutes before entering the cleanroom.

Clothing regulations

Depending on the type of cleanroom, there will be specific rules. Employees may be required to change out of regular clothes and wear cleanroom clothing made from polyester to minimize the risk of external contamination.

Many cleanrooms will require employees to leave their shoes outside and wear shoes available for use in the cleanroom, in addition to using shoe covers.

Cleanroom attire may include items such as full protective clothing, gloves, wraps, goggles, head coverings, masks, etc.

There are also other requirements related to the changing area, storage cabinets, the location for dirty clothes, the laundry process, etc.

Other regulations

Employees are not allowed to pick up anything that has fallen on the floor. Picking it up with gloves can contaminate the gloves.

Except for protective clothing allowed for use in the cleanroom and equipment in the cleanroom, other items are not allowed to be brought into the cleanroom, such as keys, jewelry, food and drink.

Employees with skin irritation or open wounds are also not allowed in the cleanroom.

Maintaining cleanroom hygiene is a way to improve operational productivity and extend the life of the room. Therefore, for the production process to take place most smoothly, we need to apply the rules and principles of the cleanroom according to the prescribed standards.
