Description: Segment 1 A street market is shown, with a trader blowing his nose and then handling fruit. The narrator says that there are millions of germs around but that many people are strong enough not to fall ill. A hospital environment is different however. The film uses black paint to portray germs and to show how easily they are passed on. A nurse dusts the ward area but spreads contaminated dust around onto patients. The narrator suggests a damp cloth instead, and a vacuum cleaner for the floor. Five mistakes made by hospital staff are shown. First, a nurse uses another patient's dirty towel to clean up a spill on another patient. Next, a plumber is in a hurry and knocks over a bucket of dirty water. Third, a nurse empties a vacuum cleaner bag in a room with an open door and the contaminated dust flies out.

Last, a nurse handles the patients' cutlery with dirty hands. The patients are all shown less well than before because of the cross-infection. The narrator says that staff's actions can make the difference between a patient leaving the hospital alive and well or in a coffin. Time start: 00:04:59:11 Time end: 00:08:56:14 Length: 00:03:57:03
