What You May Be Missing When Washing Your Hands

This shows the most frequently missed areas (pink) and the generally missed areas (purple)

 

Good hand hygiene practices can reduce illness, absence due to illness and the associated costs by up to 40%. However, numerous studies continue to demonstrate that the correct procedure of hand washing is not adhered to.
Separate washroom studies from around the world show that only 70% of people wash their hands and only 30% of people actually use soap when washing their hands!
Now, the people that DO wash their hands usually don’t wash long enough. It is recommended that you scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds when washing. Attention should be paid to the backs of the hands and fingertips as these are frequently missed.

Back To Germs! Protect Your Employees AND Your Bottom Line

According to the CDC, many studies have shown that a large percentage of infections come from improper hand hygiene. A sick employee that comes to work is generally less productive…and they can spread illness to others! Clean hands are KEY to prevent the spread of germs in your workplace.

Now it’s easier than ever to give employees a second option (after hand washing) to kill germs- hand sanitizer! OK, hand sanitizer is nothing new, but now we have some great options in foam! Everyone loves foam, right?!

·         Foam is more economical. You generally use less product.

·         There’s no dripping or splashing. Foam stays put!
