YES — hand washing is an extremely part of everyday life, but don’t forget about hand DRYING! Drying your hands with paper towels is critical to proper hand hygiene, as they can remove up to 77% of the bacteria that remains on hands after washing.
The CDC recommend 20 seconds of thorough scrubbing of all the surfaces of your hands each time you wash. We created a simple sign to remind everyone in your office about effective handwashing practices. Download and print as many as you need for posting at every sink in your workplace (or home!).
Consider all the forms, handouts, pages, menus, and more that your workplaces uses that could be laminated and written on with dry erase markers to make them easy to clean, sanitize and re-use.
