- How do you train staff on a new clinic's equipment?
We answer each of these in writing after the free assessment.

No, and they should not be priced the same way either. The written schedule required by 29 CFR 1910.1030(d)(4)(i) is built around location, surface type, soil type, and the procedures performed, so a minor-procedure or cryotherapy room gets a different product set and frequency than a consult room with a desk and two chairs. Procedure rooms get contaminated work surfaces decontaminated after procedures, after spills, and at the end of the shift, per 29 CFR 1910.1030(d)(4)(ii)(A). Consult rooms get a high-touch pass. Same suite, two protocols, one document.
We do not invent a method for it. Where a manufacturer provides no cleaning and disinfection instructions, CDC's position is that the item is not suitable for multi-patient use, and improvising a chemistry risks either damaging the device or leaving it contaminated with no way to prove otherwise. We list every such device in the walkthrough report and hand it back to your administrator to resolve with the vendor. That is usually a short email and a returned document, and it closes a finding before a surveyor opens one.
The responsibility matrix showing which surfaces and devices are ours and which are clinical, the written cleaning and decontamination schedule under 29 CFR 1910.1030(d)(4)(i), product labels with EPA registration numbers and contact times, SDS sheets, the chemical storage and utility closet arrangement against 105 CMR 140.206, crew training records, and dated service logs. Surveyors test whether the method was defined and followed, not whether the floor looks clean. Dory's also carries $2 million in general liability and will issue a certificate naming your clinic.
