Building an Effective Hand Hygiene Program

Proper hand hygiene plays a critical role in limiting the spread of viruses and bacteria. With facilities beginning to reopen, having the right hand hygiene products and systems can help employees and customers feel safe in your facility. Here are our top three tips to help get your facility re-open ready:

1. Identify High-Touch Points

High-touch points are surfaces or shared objects that are used or touched frequently, such as meeting room tables, door handles and shared equipment. Placing hand sanitizer dispensers and surface disinfectants* near these areas can help decrease the spread of germs and bacteria.

2. Educate Employees on Proper Hand Hygiene Practices

Did you know up to 95% of people wash their hands incorrectly or not at all? Set your facility up for success by equipping your employees with the knowledge and tools needed to keep their hands clean and healthy.
