WHY IS HAND HYGIENE IMPORTANT? All students need to be aware of the importance of general hand hygiene and have access to hand washing facilities with soap and hand sanitiser at germ hotspots. Help reduce the spread of germs in your university by educating your students on the importance of washing their hands with soap. Our hands are the main vehicle for transmitting germs. Germs and bacteria that cause common illnesses are invisible to the naked eye and can make us ill Germs are transferred by our hands, spread by people-to-people contact and through touching everyday surfaces Poor hand hygiene may lead to increased illness Illness may result in student absenteeism which could affect their learning progress STILL DO NOT wash their hands when they visit the washroom Of those that do, only 30% use soap! Water alone does not clean hands effectively. Either don t wash their hands at all or don t use soap to clean their hands properly! A MIXTURE OF LATE NIGHTS PARTYING, SHARED ACCOMMODATION AND BEING SURROUNDED BY LOTS OF NEW PEOPLE RESULTS IN UP TO... % OF STUDENTS DURING THE FIRST TERM AT UNIVERSITY EXPERIENCING COLD-LIKE SYMPTOMS KNOWN AS FRESHERS FLU 1 OCCUPATIONAL SKIN CARE TEACHING & IMPLEMENTING BEST PRACTICE Skin care requirements in universities can be diverse. With a wide variety of subjects and courses available to students, the type of skin care system required will vary. University is a good place to start to teach and implement best practice for occupational skin care. 2

Open and pour-in soap dispensers are not as hygienic as sealed cartridge systems. This is because they are open to the environment and can result in bacteria and germs breeding inside the dispenser. In a washroom there are various sources of bacteria; aerolised from toilet flushing, blown around from hand dryers and from hand transfer. Bulk fill systems are often inadequately cleaned and incorrectly refilled. Continual refilling can result in new soap being contaminated by old soap as illustrated in the image (bottom right). 3
