Hand Hygiene

CMM spoke with Gregory Gardner, director of environmental services (EVS) at a Georgia hospital, about handwashing challenges in healthcare facilities.

The user-based design approach requires a deep understanding of a product user’s needs and prioritizes innovations to solve their pain points. It also recognizes that a product may have more than one user, as with restroom dispensers.

Around one in five Americans experience difficulties using soap or hand towel dispensers due to an injury, health condition, or physical capability.

Companies have a tremendous opportunity to boost their DEI efforts by making their facility restrooms more inclusive.

While it’s great that handwashing is getting the love and attention it deserves, it raises the question of why hand drying isn’t.

More than three years since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, hand hygiene remains a top priority due to the impact it continues to make on both health and healthcare.

Maintaining a well-kept campus not only helps improve the school’s appearance, but also has been shown to impact students’ education.

Dark and moist sink drains are a perfect setting for germs to thrive.

Combining cleaning routine transparency with cutting-edge equipment will help ensure clean and hygienic campus restrooms that leave a positive impression.

Restroom problem areas vary from school to school depending on the age of the students. With the smaller kids you're dealing with messes and with the older students you're dealing with graffiti, vandalism and theft.

Whether you’re an environmental services worker in a hospital or a custodian in a school or office, the first piece of personal protective equipment (PPE) you most likely reach for is a pair of disposable gloves.

Facility managers can use the promotion of good hand hygiene to help reduce the occurrence of illnesses in the buildings they serve.
