* Inspecting all sterile packages for integrity once the load has cooled sufficiently and returning any compromised packages to be re-packaged and re-autoclaved.
* Returning decontaminated goods back to respective departments as soon as possible.
* Ensuring all items passed through a decontamination process have a traceability label attached/available.
* Ensuring all relevant paperwork within the department is completed.
* Undertaking daily checks of all machinery and keeping records of the checks.
