Advice not to be sneezed at

With the ‘flu season approaching,
Deb has issued guidelines on how to
adopt good hand hygiene practices
to help prevent the spread of germs
in the workplace this winter.

The guidelines advise working
with washroom services suppliers
to create a communications
campaign to educate staff why they
should keep their hands clean.

Companies are also urged to
encourage good hand hygiene
practice by providing easy-tounderstand
awareness materials
such as posters and stickers in the
washrooms, on floors, mirrors and
doors.

Another idea is to demonstrate
the ‘dos and don’ts’ of good hand
hygiene through employee
awareness days.
