  • Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)<\/b>: Sets regulations to protect workers from occupational exposure to infectious agents.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Healthcare Laundry Accreditation Council (HLAC)<\/b>: Offers accreditation to laundries that meet high standards of quality and safety in their operations.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Key Requirements for Compliance<\/b><\/h4>\n
      \n
    1. Proper Sorting and Handling<\/b>\n
