Back to Work!
Do you have everything you need for hand hygiene in your work environment? Quickly check the situation with Satino by WEPA.
Step 1: Hand washing
Washing hands with soap and water is the easiest and most convenient way to prevent infections.
Are there enough soap dispensers, and is their capacity sufficient?
If the capacity is not sufficient, a larger soap dispenser with more filling volume is worth the investment. Satino by WEPA Clean&Care soap dispensers are available in two sizes: 700 ml (SF2) and 1,000 ml (SF 1) for higher frequencies.Do existing dispensers provide optimal hygiene?
Germs collect on tables, door handles, knobs, switches and handrails – and are spread further from there. Therefore, soap dispensers should have few or no contact surfaces. Sensor dispensers such as Satino by WEPA Clean&Care dispensers are ideal – users don’t even touch the surface in the first place. With manual soap dispensers, contact surfaces should be made of easy-to-clean material such as stainless steel.
Soap also contributes to hygiene. Satino by WEPA soaps come in a stand-up bag with integrated pump – a closed and hygienic system that guarantees optimum dispensing at the same time.Are the dispensers easy to service?
Refill insertion needs to be done quickly – that’s why Satino dispensers are easy for service staff to open. Thanks to their mounting plate, it takes no time at all to replace dispensers of the same size with Satino by WEPA Clean&Care dispensers. For instance, if you want to replace a manual dispenser with a touch-free model.
Satino Clean&Care dispensers also provide maximum flexibility in use: they can be filled not only with soap, but also with sanitiser or toilet seat cleaner
Step 2: Hand drying
Germs that are still on the hands after hasty washing are removed once and for all by drying.
- Is the available hand drying method the most hygienic one?
The fact of the matter is: paper towels are the most popular and hygienic way to dry your hands. They remove germs, and any paper towel is only used once and then disposed of. Hand dryers disperse germs throughout the room and onto surfaces. With textile towels, there is a risk of cross-contamination. - Are there enough towel dispensers, and is their capacity sufficient?
Insufficient capacity? That can be solved: We recommend switching to an economical system such as towel rolls or Interfold paper towels: they are easy to service thanks to long refill intervals and particularly hygienic in combination with touch-free dispensers or Satino by WEPA self-sufficient AutoCut dispensers. Stay flexible with mobile solutions: for example with Satino recyclable paper towel dispensers made of cardboard, which can be used wherever there is a temporary increase in demand without plans for long-term use. - Do paper towel dispensers optimally contribute to hygiene?
Avoid contact surfaces – this rule also applies to paper towel dispensers. This is why touch-free dispensers or Satino by WEPA self-sufficient AutoCut dispensers are an ideal solution – both for towel rolls and folded paper towels. Users only ever touch their own paper towel. The same is true for the Centrefeed Plus dispenser, which was specially designed for trade and industry.
Step 3: Hand disinfection
Wherever hand washing is not an option, #handsanitiser is a sensible alternative.
- Is there a need for hand sanitiser at all?
Hand disinfection effectively interrupts chains of infection and has permanently established its place in our everyday hygiene routines. Hand disinfection cannot replace hand washing, but complements it. Wherever many people come together – in companies or hotels, at trade fairs, when shopping – hand sanitiser is a useful tool that protects us all from infections. - How can hand disinfection be integrated into working environments?
In washrooms, hand disinfection is offered as an additional service to hand washing. Satino by WEPA touch-free Clean&Care dispensers are particularly convenient here.
Sanitiser stands are advisable for entrance or pathway areas – for example, to clean hands after using lifts or before entering conference rooms. Satino by WEPA offers two two models for different frequencies of use. Is hand disinfection worth the investment?
Diseases like the flu only occur seasonally – however, the coronavirus demonstrated that some viruses do not follow the season. In such cases, safe protection may be required over longer periods of time.
• Occupational health and safety is not optional, but a corporate duty – one that employees appreciate.
• Sanitiser stands are mobile and ready for use at any time. They can be activated as required in closed rooms with high and low visitor frequencies – even to avoid “more harmless” infections.
• Satino by WEPA Clean&Care dispensers are multifunctional and can be filled with either hand sanitiser, soap or toilet seat cleaner. This facilitates great flexibility in use.
