Cleaning hands more often than usual is one of the key measures advised by the government to protect against coronavirus, so we’ve worked with schools to develop a new outdoor handwash station that can be quickly installed, to help avoid overcrowding existing washroom facilities.
Ideal for location near student entrances and dining areas, the easy-to use weather protected units contain sinks, soap dispensers, paper towel holders, waste bins and handwashing instructions to send a clear message promoting good hygiene.
Long before the virus, hand washing has been highlighted as one of the most important ways of controlling the spread of infections, especially those that cause vomiting and diarrhoea. A culture of cleanliness where regular handwashing is normal, with washing facilities that pupils consistently want and feel safe to use, will help us all stay healthier and reduce absenteeism from here on.
