Disaster recovery and restoration can be veiled in mystery to the many who have not undertaken specific training. This glossary explains technical terms to assist both report writing and the understanding of those technical terms so often misunderstood.
Definition
| Antimicrobial: | A chemical agent responsible for reducing and controlling unwanted microscopic growth. Education Note: Antimicrobial chemicals are not always disinfectants, yet disinfectants are considered to be the microbial of choice in their ability to kill and reduce microorganism growth in building floods. The improperuse of antimicrobial disinfectants may cause health impairments to employees and building occupants. See Antiseptics, Disinfectants |
| Antiseptics: | Most antiseptics are used to kill most skin microorganisms, reducing the chance for infection on humans. Health Note: Antiseptics are mild topical disinfectants, they are not to be confused with building chemical-type disinfectants. Liability Note: Antiseptics are to be given to employees who have sores, wounds and scrapes allowing the employee to put on the antiseptic. Unless you are first aid trained, I understand you cannot assist with the antisceptic application. Commonly used antispetics are rubbing alcohol (IPA), 3% hydrogen peroxide, iodine. |
