Advancing the Science

The UK has launched with an exciting trial at kew gardens. Over the last three months, the 5 large restaurants at Kew have been taking part in a trial of new and innovative equipment from our forum members, aimed at improving hand washing and the spread of bacteria.

Kew gardens has a large catering and events team, with five separate restaurants including self service, and thousands of visitors through the gates on a daily basis. In such an establishment, it is vitally important that both staff and visitors have the correct equipment and facilities at their fingertips to prevent the spread of bacteria.

 The trial has incorporated our training and team rally techniques, with surprising results.

Gojo and Goergia Pacific have kindly given us the equipment and products needed over the three months. Results will be published in January.

Handwashingforlife® is continuously looking for, and eager to promote, products and services that advance the science of hand hygiene and improve hand hygiene efficacy in the food and health care sectors. If you have a product or service that improves the effectiveness, efficiency and/or frequency of hand hygiene practices contact us.

Contrary to popular belief the installation of automatic faucets can actually save food service and health care facilities considerable money in water and electricity bills. Thousands of Rand in annual savings can pay back the initial investment in a few months.
