The Blackstone Board of Health; its official page is https://www.townofblackstone.org/464/Board-of-Health. Clinics, hospitals and long-term care facilities are licensed and surveyed by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, while the local board of health handles local environmental-health matters under the State Sanitary Code and local regulations. Our cleaning records are kept so they serve both.

Wiping is cleaning, and cleaning is not disinfection. They are two steps. Treatment tables, mats, weights, and bands that contact intact skin are non-critical items that need to be cleaned and then disinfected between patients at the level the degree of soiling requires, per the CDC Infection Prevention Checklist non-critical item definition and CDC Core Practices 5f. Between-patient turnover stays with your clinicians, because they are the ones in the room. What we own is the end-of-day terminal pass across every table, mat, and plinth, plus floors, restrooms, and shared areas.

That is exactly the issue, and it has a stated answer. Where a manufacturer provides no cleaning and disinfection instructions, CDC's position under Section II item A of the Infection Prevention Checklist and Core Practices 5f is that the item is not suitable for multi-patient use. Porous foam, fabric straps, and cut bands frequently fall there. The practical fixes are single-patient assignment, launderable covers, or replacement with a non-porous equivalent. We inventory the gym, mark which items have usable instructions and which do not, and hand the list to you.

We treat the gym as a contact-transfer environment rather than an office. Every surface a patient's bare skin meets, including plinth vinyl, mat surfaces, exercise ball skins, bench pads, and the floor of the mat area, is cleaned and then disinfected on a defined interval with an EPA-registered product chosen for that surface. The mat floor gets a wet process rather than a dry mop that redistributes skin debris. Written policies naming the gym, the treatment tables, and the shared equipment are precisely what Section I item A of the CDC Infection Prevention Checklist asks a clinic to hold.
