Job description

The Sanitary Petrol (BPS-02) at Hiranand Ganga Bai Women Hospital serves as a frontline sanitation worker responsible for maintaining aseptic conditions across maternity wards, labor rooms, operation theaters, and outpatient areas. The role exists to protect patients, neonates, and clinical staff from healthcare-associated infections through rigorous environmental cleaning, timely waste removal, and strict adherence to hospital hygiene SOPs under the supervision of the Sanitary Inspector and Nursing Administration.

Daily workflows begin with receiving area assignments and chemical requisitions from the storekeeper, followed by systematic damp-dusting, mopping with color-coded microfiber systems, and high-touch surface disinfection using 0.5% chlorine or approved quaternary ammonium compounds. The incumbent manages three-stream waste segregation at point of generation — yellow for infectious, red for contaminated plastic, white for sharps — transports sealed bags to the central collection point, and logs quantities in the waste register. Additional duties include cleaning spillage kits, replenishing hand-rub dispensers, autoclaving reusable mop heads, and reporting maintenance defects such as blocked drains or faulty autoclaves through the complaint register.

Selection is conducted exclusively through a practical trade demonstration and oral viva voce; no written examination is administered. Candidates must perform live terminal cleaning of a simulated delivery table, demonstrate correct donning and doffing of personal protective equipment, segregate a mixed waste tray into color-coded bins within a timed limit, and answer situational questions on spill management, chemical safety, and reporting hierarchy before a panel comprising the Medical Superintendent, Infection Control Nurse, and Sanitary Inspector.

Key duties and responsibilities:

• Perform terminal and concurrent cleaning of labor rooms, operation theaters, and neonatal care units using validated two-bucket three-mop technique
• Segregate, collect, and transport biomedical waste in color-coded containers following Punjab Healthcare Commission guidelines
• Prepare and replenish disinfectant solutions at recommended concentrations with daily pH or chlorine strip verification
• Operate and maintain auto-scrubbers, wet vacuums, and steam cleaners; conduct pre-use safety checks
• Monitor and restock hygiene consumables including liquid soap, paper towels, and alcohol-based hand rub at all stations
• Report environmental hazards, pest sightings, and equipment malfunctions immediately via the maintenance complaint register
