Help our CC is now banning cloth nappies as of March

[Sammiejane]

I work in OHS and being a cloth user i would find it diffficult to believe that there would be a different OHS implication to that of a sposie... they are still removing the nappy and still cleaning the bum of the child... its just what is done with it afterwards... and TBH i cant find a difference.
one you chuck in a bin, the other you chuck in a plastic bag. Fair enoough if they are having an issue with the poo - as in cleaning it off, but t should be put down the toilet anyway, cloth or sposie, so there is no difference.

In hospital if a patient has beeing incontinent, we (nurses) have to clean them up - we use a face washer and change the linen... there is NO difference, infact it is possibly more of an issue in hospital as many have VRE... there OHS implication in that

Would like to hear their rationale - actually i will bring it up with my boss tomorrow and see what she has to say about it...
