In the Office
Dirty hands are responsible for the transmission
of germs known to cause many common illnesses such as the common cold.
Good hand hygiene can reduce this risk, yet regular hand washing cannot
always be easily practised by staff who have to share office space &
equipment with others.
Locate hand sanitiser dispensers around the office and provide staff with
their own personal pack. Choose from any of the dispensers above and the
Cutan Sanitiser.
On the Ward
Ensuring that the hands of staff are clean & decontaminated will help
prevent the spread of potentially life threatening bacteria & viruses such
as MRSA. Patient care is imperative and as there is a growing concern to
control the spread of infections not only are the hands of staff
considered an area to be addressed but also those of their visitors. Hand
Sanitising facilities should therefore be placed in every patient room,
every ward entrance, in every communal room & at every reception door.
Choose from the Cutan Range.
The Cutan Range offers complete educational support with the Cutan
Compliance Pack.
In the Kitchen
Record numbers of food poisoning cases are being reported. The deaths of
21 people from E. coli in the winter of 1996/97 and increasing media
exposure of food poisoning outbreaks has consumers demanding
increasingly high levels of hygiene from food manufacturers & handlers.
Hand Sanitising is STEP 3 of the 3 Step Skin
Hygiene Centre and is an essential part of preventing food bourne
bacteria from spreading. Florafree is the brand associated with kitchen
hand hygiene.

page.
The Florafree range also has a complimentary support package.
At School
Hand hygiene is extremely important in schools. With students & staff
having regular close contact germs can spread at an astronomical rate.
This can cause massive disruption in the education of the pupil as well
as an administrative nightmare. There are key areas in a school where
hand sanitising can help improve hand hygiene and thus reduce the
potential spread of germs and therefore help reduce absenteeism.
WHERE YOU SHOULD HAVE HAND
SANITISERS
|
THE CLASSROOM
Install Deb Hand Sanitising Dispensers into
every classroom so that children do not need to disrupt the class or
waste lots of time to keep their hands free from germs after sneezing,
coughing, touching or playing with equipment. Deb Foam Hand Sanitiser
dries instantly without the need for water and can therefore be
located anywhere – next to the teacher’s desk or by the classroom door
for example. In winter when the common cold is prevalent put 400ml
sanitiser pump bottles on each classroom desk to save the children
getting up and down from their seats. |
AT THE ENTRANCE TO
THE DINING HALL
When dinner time comes children are
generally in a rush to eat and then play, this means that if they
don't need to go to the toilet then they are most probably not going
to wash their hands. Even if your dinner staff send them to wash
before they eat there are usually long queues, not every child can get
to the sink and its difficult for the children to wash thoroughly …
inevitably some will skip the queue and not wash at all. It is
difficult for your staff to recognise if a child has washed thoroughly
because hands do not have to look dirty to have germs! By
placing a Hand Sanitising Dispenser at the dining room entrance you
can easily ensure every child sanitises on the way in therefore
reducing the possibility of catching food borne illnesses.
|
ON FIELD TRIPS
Hand washing facilities are not always
available when staff and children go on field and school trips and
finding washrooms can be a pain. Deb Hand Sanitiser comes in useful
400ml pump bottles which are suitable to be kept on the school minibus
or coach to use before eating. There are also 'Handy' 50ml personal
pumps which are ideal for individual members of staff to carry around
with them so cleaning their hands and pupils hands is never a problem
when you're at the reservoir, out in the woods or pond dipping. |
THE MEDICAL ROOM
In first aid and medical rooms hand hygiene
is very important for both the pupil and member of staff. Deb Hand
Sanitiser starts working immediately after use to kill 99.999% of
bacteria and can be used prior to using gloves therefore offering
maximum protection for both staff and pupil. By getting pupils to
sanitise their hands they will understand that hand hygiene is
important not only when using the toilet and before eating but it will
also educate them in personal protection, how to reduce the risks of
potentially life threatening diseases such as HIV and Hepatitis which
are transmitted by blood. |
