• Make sure you sanitise your palms, back of hands, wrists, fingers and under fingernails.
• Put a ‘How to Sanitise Your Hands’ sign up to help people better identify and use hand sanitiser.
• In addition to the washroom, hand sanitiser dispensers should also be positioned at the entrances and exits of your building. There may be several other positions inside your building where hand sanitiser dispensers can help improve hygiene and reduce contamination risks.
