The healthcare sector has had long-standing best practice guidelines on the importance of maintaining hand hygiene, particularly in clinical environments. The WHO states that any healthcare worker, caregiver, or person involved in direct or indirect patient care needs to be concerned about hand hygiene and should be able to perform it correctly and at the right time.
The pandemic has resulted in general healthcare standards for hand hygiene being extended to us all, particularly in places of work, and public spaces where COVID-19 risk assessments have had to consider the need to provide additional handwashing facilities so that people can wash their hands more frequently.
Hand Sanitiser on its own isn’t enough. Hand sanitiser does not remove soiling and therefore is less thorough at eliminating viruses than handwashing. The HSE recommendation is that hand sanitiser should only be used where hands are physically clean. So, the need for a handwashing facility to be accessible has never been greater.
Across the UK, compliance rules have become tighter and providing handwashing facilities is now a priority. Everyone now requires adequate hand hygiene facilities to protect themselves, their family, friends, and colleagues.
