An Australian study of 200 people at public toilets in a food hall environment showed 29% of men and 8% of women still don’t wash their hands after using the toilet (Australian Food Safety Information Council, Canberra www.foodsafety.asn.au).
The same study revealed that of the remaining people in the survey who made an attempt to clean their hands, an incredible 80% of women and 93% of men didn’t wash their hands properly.
The hand-to-mouth route is one of the most likely ways that faecal bacteria enter our body and cause infection.
There are over 5 million cases of food poisoning each year in Australia – a lot of this could have been prevented by good handwashing practices.
All of the above are reasons why the Intial Range of Washroom Products is essential for Food & Hospitality Industry participants.
