Hand Wash Protocol

The Importance of Hand Washing

Hand washing is a critical practice for maintaining good personal hygiene and preventing the spread of infectious diseases. Proper hand washing is especially important for eliminating potentially life-threatening germs such as salmonella, shigellosis, hepatitis, and E. coli. Using a hand wash that is bactericidal, virucidal, and fungicidal ensures the effective removal of harmful microorganisms from your hands, reducing the risk of infections and protecting both yourself and others from getting sick.

General Hand Washing Protocol - Steps by Step Guide

Here are the guidelines for proper hand washing:

Wet your hands thoroughly with clean running water.
Dispense enough bactericidal, virucidal, and fungicidal hand wash to cover all surfaces of your hands.
Rub your palms together to create a lather.
Place your right palm over the back of your left hand, interlocking your fingers, and vice versa.
Interlock your fingers and rub the backs of your fingers against your opposing palms.
With your fingers clasped, rotate your left thumb in a circular motion inside your right palm and vice versa.
Continuing to clasp your fingers, perform a back-and-forth rubbing motion between your palms.
Thoroughly rinse your hands under running water.
Dry your hands thoroughly with a single-use towel.
Use the towel to turn off the faucet to avoid recontamination.
Congratulations, your hands are now safe, and you have significantly reduced the risk of spreading harmful germs!
