Safe working and the prevention of infection in the mortuary and post-mortem room. (2003)

This booklet gives advice on a wide range of activity from how to carry out a risk assessment to safe working practices in post mortem rooms plus guidance on cleaning, disposal of waste and monitoring employee health. The guidance revises the booklet first published in 1991 but retains the practical guidance of the original booklet and now includes new information on precautions for handling higher risk material including Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease. The update also considers changes in new legislation, new technologies and new guidance from other governmental departments and agencies.
