2 We are here to help. Kruger Products Limited can provide the product solutions you need. Hand Hygiene is important at all times, but it is critical during flu outbreaks, to prevent cross-contamination from person to person and from hard surfaces to person. Your Kruger Senior Account Professional can provide expert advice and product recommendations to increase protection and customer satisfaction.
3 Protect yourself! Take everyday actions to stay healthy. Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it. Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way. Stay home if you get sick. CDC recommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them. Centers For Disease Control April 2009
4 Hand-Washing Guidelines Tips for good hand washing; 1. Do it often - Wash before and after eating and preparing food; after using restroom facilities; changing diapers; blowing your nose/coughing/sneezing; before and after visiting the sick; after going shopping or other public places; and after handling animals are a few examples of a good time to wash your hands. 2. Remove all hand jewellery before washing Germs and soap can be left behind under rings. 3. Dispense a length of towel for drying prior to washing your hands This will help to avoid cross contamination by touching dispenser levers, faucets or other devices. 4. Wet your hands Moistened hands help the soap lather quickly and more effectively. 5. Apply a small amount of liquid or foam soap to moistened hands Spray or foam soaps with a pump/lever or touchless automatic dispensing application are best. Bar soaps stay moist and attract germs and bacteria and should be stored on a rack to dry out. 6. Vigorously rub your hands together for seconds generating lather Be sure to scrub between your fingers, under your fingernails and the backs of your hands. 7. Rub hands together for a longer period if visibly soiled Focus on the soiled areas to remove unwanted dirt. 8. Rinse your hands well in a flowing stream of water Rinse for at least 10 seconds in clean running water, do not dip your hands into standing water. 9. Dry your hands thoroughly with a good quality paper towel Use quality single use paper towels and ensure your hands are thoroughly dry. Dry hands reduce the risk of cross contamination from hard surfaces.
5 Paper Towels = Hygiene Hand-Drying is Critical Microbiological studies have shown that using paper towels after washing helps remove bacteria from the hands and reduce general bacterial counts by an average of 58% Source U.O. Westminster Redway - Knights Warm Air Dryers and Jet Air Dryers do not reduce the Bacterial counts on the skin. Source U.O. Westminster Redway Fawdar 2009 Warm Air Dryers take too long to dry hands, and people don t wait, or avoid using them. Usually hands are 55% - 65% Dry. Jet Air Dryers shown to disperse bacteria on the hands up to 2 meters away. Source U.O. Westminster Redway Fawdar 2009 Risk of bacterial transfer is significantly increased when hands are wet. Dry hands are Safe hands! Low quality towels: do not absorb water quickly, and have lower water retention, do not dry hands effectively - increasing consumption & cost. Embassy Supreme and Embassy towels dry hands fast and effectively, reducing risk from cross contamination.
