13 Handwashing as effective bacterial protection
Health authorities and various studies confirm: Washing your hands with warm water and soap is the best way to stay healthy because 80% of all infections are spread through contact. Unlike viruses, bacteria can mul- tiply among themselves. We find them in places such as lift buttons, door handles, computer mice, keyboards, mobile phones, etc. For instance, an average desk contains 400 times more bacteria than an average toilet seat.
Proper handwashing reduces costs The costs for good hygiene, as preventative health care, are negligibly low compared to hospital costs. Sick days, however, result in direct costs due to health care and indirect costs in the form of substitutes, missed customer appointments or even delivery difficulties. In contrast, hygiene brings success. A com- plete hygiene system with the right paper, dispensers, soap and accessories delivers the best possible hand hygiene, quickly pays for itself and supports your company’s productivity.
Hand washing – an easy formula without side effects The World Health Organization recommends the following for good hand hygiene: Regularly wash your hands. Wash your hands with soap and warm water. This is how hand hygiene Since bacteria reproduce better on wet hands than on dry ones, becomes a piece of cake. thoroughly dry them with a disposable hand towel. The paper hand towel ensures that bacteria are mechanically removed. Use alcohol-based disinfectants if you do not have direct access to water and soap.
