Environmental Disinfection: An Undervalued Pillar of Infection Prevention | In Conversation with Bunzl Canada

Environmental disinfection plays a far greater role in infection prevention than it’s often given credit for.In this episode of The Infection Control Exchange Podcast, I’m joined by Bunzl Canada to discuss how environmental disinfectants contribute to outbreak prevention, daily risk reduction, and safer healthcare environments.We explore why environmental disinfection is frequently undervalued, how structured frameworks like Bunzl’s Confident Clean model help drive consistency and accountability, and why documentation, education, and leadership support are essential for sustainable infection prevention practices.This episode is a reminder that effective infection prevention extends well beyond hand hygiene — and that environmental cleaning is a cornerstone of patient/resident and staff safety.🎙️ The Infection Control Exchange Podcast🎧 New episodes available across all major podcast platforms
