Hand hygiene is the most effective single measure to reduce the spread of infections

As you know, the COVID-19 virus is far from being in the rear-view-mirror and is something we will be dealing with for the foreseeable future. Now that many of us are—or will soon be—returning to work, businesses are facing various obstacles in order to follow guidelines, one of them being to provide adequate hand hygiene stations. The WHO and CDC has stated that "Hand hygiene is the most effective single measure to reduce the spread of infections." They have suggested businesses improve hand hygiene practices to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and other viruses through the following recommendations:
- One or several hand hygiene stations (either for handwashing with soap and water or for hand rubbing with an alcohol-based hand rub) should be placed in front of the entrance of every public (including schools and healthcare facilities) or private commercial building, to allow everyone to practice hand hygiene before entering and when leaving it.
- Facilities should be provided at all transport locations, and especially at major bus and train stations, airports, and seaports.
- The quantity and usability of the hand hygiene stations should be adapted to the type (e.g. young children, elderly, those with limited mobility) and number of users to better encourage use and reduce waiting time.
We know having multiple handwashing stations with running water can be difficult, even impossible in some locations. Most businesses and buildings do not have the option of adding plumbing for one or more sinks at their entrances. That's where Jonti-Craft comes in. The collection of Jonti-Craft Clean Hands Helper portable sinks can be placed anywhere, and best of all they do not require any plumbing! Available in two heights and two sink material options, these mobile sinks meet licensing requirements and give businesses the flexibility of moving them quickly to areas of need in educational, health, and other community settings.
