Job description

The Sanitary Worker (BPS-04) at Hiranand Ganga Bai Women Hospital serves as a frontline hygiene operative responsible for maintaining aseptic conditions across wards, operation theaters, labor rooms, and public corridors. The role directly supports patient safety by executing terminal cleaning, managing infectious waste streams per Punjab Healthcare Commission standards, and ensuring functional drainage to prevent hospital-acquired infections in a high-volume maternity and gynecology facility.

Daily workflows include preparing diluted hypochlorite and phenolic solutions per concentration charts, operating auto-scrubbers and fogging machines, emptying sharps containers into incinerator trolleys, and clearing floor traps in sluice rooms. The worker logs completed tasks in the sanitation register, reports plumbing leaks to the maintenance supervisor, and replenishes hand-rub dispensers. Career progression follows the BPS ladder to Senior Sanitary Worker (BPS-06) and Sanitary Supervisor (BPS-09) upon passing departmental trade tests and acquiring infection-control certification.

Selection is conducted exclusively through a practical trade demonstration and oral viva voce; no written examination is administered. Candidates must perform live cleaning of a simulated contaminated patient bay, demonstrate correct PPE donning/doffing, segregate mock waste into yellow, red, and black bags, and answer situational questions on spill management and chemical safety before a panel comprising the Medical Superintendent, Nursing Superintendent, and Sanitary Inspector.

Key duties and responsibilities:

• Perform terminal cleaning of operation theaters and labor rooms using validated two-bucket method and EPA-approved disinfectants after each surgical procedure
• Segregate and transport infectious, sharps, and general waste to designated collection points following color-coded bagging and labeling protocols
• Prepare and verify concentrations of sodium hypochlorite, chlorhexidine, and alcohol-based solutions using test strips before application
• Operate ride-on scrubber dryers, backpack foggers, and high-pressure jetters for corridor, drain, and external sewer line maintenance
• Monitor and refill automatic hand-sanitizer dispensers, soap containers, and paper towel rolls at all clinical entry points every shift
• Report structural defects, blocked floor drains, and pest sightings to the Sanitary Inspector via the daily defect register for immediate rectification
