Assessment of Humidity Hazard
| Hazard | Sub-Factors | Description and Reason | Weighting/Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wet or dry area probability | Dry area | Provided cleanrooms are cleaned and disinfected to standard, there should theoretically be few sources for microbial growth. The main transmission of micro-organisms will be by people or air. Air acts as a vector for micro-organisms, but not as a growth source. Areas with water present a greater risk, and so a higher weighting has been afforded to wet areas and to wash-bays. | 1 |
| Wet area | Based on the above assessment, areas with water present a greater risk, and so a higher weighting has been afforded to wet areas and to wash-bays. | 2 |
