Activity, floor mopping and cleaning

This code identifies an external cause of injury or condition related to the act of mopping or cleaning floors. It specifies the activity being performed at the time of an incident, such as a fall, strain, or other injury directly attributable to this household or occupational task.

Apply this code when documenting an injury that occurred while an individual was actively engaged in mopping or cleaning floors. This includes incidents like slipping on a wet floor during mopping, sustaining a back strain from repetitive mopping motions, or being struck by cleaning equipment during the activity.

• Always use this as a secondary code to describe the external cause of an injury.
• Ensure the primary diagnosis code accurately reflects the nature of the injury (e.g., fracture, sprain, contusion).
• Consider other external cause codes if the injury involves specific cleaning agents or equipment beyond the general act of mopping.
