I stumbled acrooss this thread with interest (as a profesional bum wiper).

What is the set up of the 'wet bag'? How are things done. Are the 'contributions' gotten rid of first ie dow the loo and then the cloth nappies put in the wet bag.

Wrapping up a disposable and into a bag straight up may be perceived as a risk reduction method.

I can see how the child care staff (if the above is the way) can cite OH&S reasons.

More concern exists with rotavirus spread now. Similarly, fecal matter isn't exactly clean waste, so handling it more than required can be perceived as a risk. If stools aren't formed for example, this is a hazard as well with droplet spread.

If this facility is making a decision based on risk then it should have done a risk assessment and have that available. It might not be to your liking however if it is sound then in some ways you may find your choices limited.

I remember after having handled all sorts of body fluids that the enrolled (Dvision 2 nurses) used to get Nausea Allowance for cleaning up exactly the same as me as a Division 1 nurse! Hard to get my head around, but thats just the way it fell!
