Scientific evidence shows that beards can spread infections, says Dr Ron Cutler, of Queen Mary, University of London. That’s why it’s important for bearded men to wash and groom their facial hair regularly.

Cleanroom beard covers help eliminate worker-induced contamination within controlled environments. They are often worn in conjunction with hair covers, hoods, and facemasks and are used in cleanrooms, laboratories, manufacturing facilities, food processing plants, and other sterile environments. Made In the United Kingdom : Crafted with pride by Iv&Ko Ltd in the United Kingdom, our Beard Covers boast guaranteed quality and origin. General-purpose beard covers are designed for less critical areas and protect against dirt, grime, and other dry particulates in non-hazardous environments. All cleanroom gowning should follow the top-bottom sequence, starting with garments on the head level and proceeding downwards. This way gravity helps avoid cross-contamination of clean or aseptic garments. Finally, after another round of washing, drying and disinfecting hands, cleanroom gloves can be donned. What type of glove and how many pairs are used depends on individual SOPs. OvergarmentsHair around nostrils and mouth is well-placed to harbour bacteria. She added that people have a habit of over-handling their beards, meaning they can spread bacteria to their mouths. What are the risks?

Bearded surgeons wearing surgeon masks did shed more organisms from the beard. The debate on whether beards are unhygienic is still raging among members of the food industry.Therefore, having the right Gowning System Management, training and monitoring and auditing in place gives a positive impetus to maintain the desired level of cleanliness. Beards harbour more germs because facial hair is courser than other hair, so traps dirt and germs more easily, she explained. The cuticles on the hair trap the germs and grease.

Flame-resistant (FR) beard covers are reusable and designed to complement arc flash protective clothing. Specific usage and regulatory compliance information can be found at the individual product level. As stated in the introduction, aftercare is not always structurally embedded into the organisation and could lead to bad habits of operators. The new draft Annex 1 suggests that aftercare must be (re)assessed and states: " All personnel including those performing cleaning, maintenance, monitoring, and those that access cleanrooms should receive regular training, gowning qualification, and assessment in disciplines relevant to the correct manufacture of sterile products. The personnel working in a Grade A zone and Grade B areas should be trained for aseptic gowning and aseptic practices. Compliance with aseptic gowning procedures should be assessed and confirmed, periodically reassessed at least annually." Having the correct cleanroom garments is a primary concern, however, gowning in the correct way is also paramount. If correctly worn, cleanroom garments will prevent contamination of the end-product and the wearer, but if the gowning or de-gowning takes place incorrectly then the impact could be catasterous. Therefore, training should be given on gowning and de-gowning and re-training over time to ensure everyone is familiar with the procedure. Reminders are necessary as, for example, if you work for an extended period in the same surroundings, you may develop bad habits which could be communicated to newcomers and the cycle continues.

At this stage, you take three steps on the cleanroom mat (such as an Elis Cleanroom Flexi Mat) to remove remaining contamination from the soles of your cleanroom boots.

Avoid excessive touching of the boot while donning then swing the first leg over the bench and place on the floor without touching the surface of the bench.
