The idea
Low-level disinfectants are used on noncritical items and environmental surfaces, such as equipment, tables and floors.
In practice
Common types include quaternary ammonium compounds, phenolics, alcohols and chlorine compounds, registered for hospital use and applied as labelled.
Where people slip
Disinfectants are for objects and surfaces; they are not used on skin.
