Good Rack | Disinfection Area | OEKAN

Goods racks and shelving are typically used in hospital supply centers for bulk storage and organization of various supplies and materials. Some common scenarios where goods racks are placed include:

• In warehouse and inventory areas for storing large quantities of supplies like linens, instruments, equipment, medications, etc. The racks help keep everything organized and accessible for stocking and restocking other areas of the hospital.

• Near loading docks and receiving areas. Racks are used here temporarily hold incoming supplies when they are first received and before they are transported to main storage areas or delivered to requisitioning departments.

• In clean and sterile supply storage rooms. Racks help store and organize sterile supplies, linens, dressing materials, sutures, and other items that need to be kept separate from soiled goods.

• In soiled utility rooms. Racks are used to sort and temporarily store soiled linens, waste, and other contaminated goods before transport to laundry facilities or disposal.

• Near operating rooms and procedure areas. Racks here store sterile supplies, instruments, linens and other materials needed for surgeries and medical procedures. They keep everything organized and readily available for staff.

• In medication and pharmacy storage areas. Medications, pharmaceuticals and medical products are stored on racks and shelving in secured, temperature-controlled environments with controlled access.

• In department-specific storage rooms. Many hospital departments like nursing units, diagnostics areas, therapy departments, etc. have their own supply storage rooms with racks to store items used specifically for that department.

• Next to transport carts and trolleys. Some movable racks and shelving units are used next to carts and trolleys to help organize and transport supplies between storage areas and points of use.

So in summary, goods racks and shelving help with bulk storage, organization, and transport of supplies throughout hospital supply centers and the wider hospital. Their specific locations and uses depend on the types of goods being stored and how they are distributed.
