GOOD HAND HYGIENE – IT’S IN YOUR HANDS
Infectious diseases, such as colds and the flu, are the leading cause of employee absenteeism due to illness. Lost productivity in the workplace from the flu alone costs employers an estimated $15 billion. Yet, the first line of defense against infectious diseases – good hand hygiene – is often overlooked by employers. The amount of time spent on hand hygiene is as important as the method used. In addition, wet hands have been shown to transfer germs much more readily than dry hands or hands not washed at all. Therefore, careful hand drying is critical.
Foam soap offers an economical and environmentally friendly way to ensure that employees are washing hands effectively. Firstly, it is more affordable because it uses less soap per volume: the foam generated is approximately 20 times the actual volume of the soap. Secondly, using foam soap can reduce waste and water use by as much as 50 percent. These simple actions will go a long way in protecting the health and safety of your employees and customers.
