Encouraging hand hygiene
September 1st 2011 According to Deb, employers can
encourage good hand hygiene
practice by providing easy-tounderstand
awareness materials such
as posters, stickers for use in the
washrooms, on floors, mirrors and
doors as well as reminders on
company intranets of the importance
of keeping hands clean.
Phil Spark, marketing director at
Deb advises: "Organisations can
work with their washroom services
suppliers to create a communications
campaign to educate staff and
visitors alike why they should keep
their hands clean. Free downloadable
posters are readily available from
established suppliers to help promote
good hand hygiene practices."
In addition to providing adequate
hand washing facilities, employers
can promote the use of a fast-acting,
alcohol hand sanitiser that will
quickly and effectively kill germs and
therefore reduce the spread of
bacteria. More articles from Deb Limited: |
