Hygiene is King | Protect Yourself

Welcome to the new normal where hygiene is king.  There are a number of easy to follow practices at work and at home to stop the spread of germs and these include:

• always wash your hands with soap and dry thoroughly and regularly or use alcohol based hand sanitiser
• regularly disinfect and clean surfaces and objects.  Use disinfectant spray or disinfectant wipes that remove dirt and bacteria 
• regularly disinfectant hard surfaces like desks, keyboards, phones and other equipment 

Word's of Hand Hygiene Advice from the World Health Organisation (WHO)

• Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand sanitiser or wash them with soap and water. Why? Washing your hands with soap and water or using alcohol-based hand hand sanitiser kills viruses that may be on your hands.

• To protect yourself and others against COVID-19, clean your hands frequently and thoroughly. Use alcohol-based hand sanitiser or wash your hands with soap and water. If you use an alcohol-based hand sanitiser, make sure you use and store it carefully.

  • Keep alcohol-based hand sanitisers out of children’s reach. Teach them how to apply the sanitiser and monitor its use.
  • Apply a coin-sized amount on your hands. There is no need to use a large amount of the product.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, mouth and nose immediately after using an alcohol-based hand sanitiser, as it can cause irritation.
  • Hand sanitisers recommended to protect against COVID-19 are alcohol-based and therefore can be flammable. Do not use before handling fire or cooking.
  • Remember that washing your hands with soap and water is also effective against COVID-19.

It's also worth remembering this advice from WHO is about stopping the spread of other viruses too.

When To Wash Your Hands

• As regularly as possible
• after coughing or sneezing
• before, during and after your cooking or preparing food
• always before eating
• after going to the toilet
• when hands are dirty
• after handling animals or animal waste

These may seem like common sense but they're vital for hand hygiene and helping to stop the spread of viruses and germs.
