Achieving Hand Washing Efficiency In The Workplace

In this summary, we underscore the significance of workplace hand hygiene in mitigating the spread of COVID-19. We present a range of solutions, including industrial hand sanitiser stations and knee-operated hand basins, to bolster hygiene compliance across various sectors.

The past two years have been tumultuous, with COVID-19 restrictions in the UK largely lifted, and the festive season approaching. Amidst this backdrop, preventing the transmission of COVID-19 in workplaces has become paramount. At Industrial Washing Machines Ltd, we've witnessed the integration of our hygiene and cleaning machines into diverse working environments across different sectors in recent years. These include our knee-operated hand wash basins and PPE dispensers.

Promoting good health begins with effective hygiene and sanitisation. Consequently, with COVID-19 being a rapidly spreading disease, hand hygiene has assumed greater importance than ever before. Industrial hand sanitising stations play a pivotal role in ensuring robust hand hygiene practices in workplaces.

How to Prevent COVID-19 in the Workplace

Although working from home has become prevalent to curb COVID-19 transmission, many desk-less workforces still operate closely together, elevating their risk. If your business necessitates physical presence in the workplace, you're likely keen to understand how to prevent COVID-19 from infiltrating or spreading within your premises. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), proper hand hygiene ranks among the most crucial methods for curbing the spread of infections and diseases. Hence, it's imperative for your workforce to uphold rigorous hand hygiene and cleaning protocols.

When Should Employees Wash Their Hands?

Employees should wash their hands immediately after contamination, such as handling equipment and passing it to others, before donning clean gloves, or after touching surfaces like doors. Integrating hand hygiene equipment into your premises can reinforce adherence to these protocols. At IWM Ltd, we've developed various hand cleaning stations to support workplace hygiene compliance and protocols.

What Constitutes Good Hand Hygiene?

Effective hand hygiene entails washing hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds and thoroughly drying them. In the workplace, this practice should be frequent, especially after hand contamination. Washing hands with an alcohol-based hand sanitiser, containing at least 60% alcohol, reduces the risk of germ survival.

Industrial Hand Sanitising Stations

We've curated a range of hand sanitising equipment tailored for workplaces, enhancing hand hygiene compliance. From sanitiser units to access control stands, our solutions cater to diverse industry needs. Alongside industrial hand sanitising stations, we offer complementary equipment like PPE dispensers, paper towel baskets, and knee-operated hand wash basins, providing comprehensive solutions for your workplace hygiene requirements.
