Reject Linen

Policy
Rejected unusable clean linen that does not meet your quality standards should be placed in a green rejected linen bag that is provided by TSI to the linen department. The bags should be hanging on the linen carts or in a designated area near the linen cart. Clean linen that is torn, stained, or unusable in any way should be placed in the green bags. When the bag becomes full, place the bag in with the soiled linen for return and call the linen department for a replacement. The bags will then be inspected by employees at TSI to determine if the items need to be pulled out of inventory or can be repaired. By participating in this process you can help make sure that only the best quality linen is being used for your patients.
