MEDICAL REASONS for HOT WATER HAND WASHING
Hot water hand washing sinks and basins are a vital and intrinsic part in the fight to reduce cross infection, Hospital Acquired Infections or HCAIs.
The Hygienius® has been developed by TEAL to encourage the hot water washing of hands in the medical and health care industries.
1) 8% of patients acquire an infection during their stay in hospital.
2) Hand washing is the single most important measure for preventing the transmission of infection.
3) A single infection costs £3,000 to treat and results in a patient spending 3 times longer in hospital (Plowman et al 1999).
4) Healthcare workers fail to wash their hands due in part to facilities not being quickly accessable, the lack of water instantly available and at the the correct temperature.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
Facts about dirty hands.
Did you know that:-
1) The number of germs on your finger tips doubles after you use the toilet.
2) Germs can stay alive on hands for up to three hours.
3) One germ can multiply to more than four million in just 8 hours.
4) Damp hands spread 1,000 times more germs than dry hands.
FOOD HYGIENE
Hot water hand washing in an appropriate sink or basin is mandatory throughout the food industry.
Fresh and cooked foods must be handled separately to prevent cross contamination.
Fresh food has surface bacteria and other micro-organisms.
Cooked food is the ideal growth media for such organisms.
To meet the reponsibilty of handling food:-
1) Use disposal gloves
2) Hand washing with soap under hot running water
3) A ten second wash in hot soapy water is MORE effective in getting rid of bacteria than alcohol rubs or gells.
