Textiles to be collected shall conform to the following:
Textiles which are heavily soiled with blood or other body fluids, or other fluids which could leak and further contaminate other textiles, shall be placed within appropriate impermeable bags (e.g. soluble sealed bags) which shall be securely closed and then placed in an appropriate laundry bag based on a risk assessment according to state or territory requirements. Particular attention shall be given to soiled coloured textiles which cause dye transfer.
