From door handles to faucets, our hands touch a lot in a day – but did you know that nearly 80% of infections are transmitted by hands (CDC)? Strategically placing hand sanitizer throughout your business is a great option for lowering the risk of hand transmission, while also encouraging your employees and clients that their health is important to you. Let’s take a look at some of the high traffic areas that make the best locations for hand sanitizer stations.
ENTRANCES AND EXITS
Within a few hours, a single doorknob can spread a virus throughout the entire office. Keeping hand sanitizer within easy access to these areas, as well as regularly cleaning handles, buttons, and light switches, will help lessen the potential spread of germs.
BREAK ROOMS
Think of all the objects you come into contact with within this single room. Coffee pots, sink faucets, refrigerator doors, the microwave… Break rooms can be a breeding ground for bacteria, so it is vital to keep an accessible hand sanitizer, or two, available.
RESTROOMS
Hand sanitizer in the restroom is a great option for reducing the waste of paper towels as door handle barriers. It’s also a strategic location for those of us who may be in a rush out the door and forgot to wash our hands.
CONFERENCE AND MEETING ROOMS
Perhaps it’s time to go over the annual benefits, or you have a really important meeting with a huge client. Whatever the reason, conference and meeting rooms tend to get packed with people, oftentimes with a handshake to preface the meeting. Having multiple hand sanitizers available on the conference table will ensure pleasantries can be exchanged and germs can be contained.
CHECK-OUT COUNTER
With the exchange of money and high turnover of people, having hand sanitizer readily available at checkout will help prevent the spread of any germs.
It is also important to choose a hand sanitizer that is suitable for everyone and tackles as many threats as possible. Choose a 70% alcohol based hand sanitizer without dyes or perfumes to prevent skin irritations and effective.
