Outdoor hand washing for schools, work, public or leisure places?

Outdoor hand washing at schools

The solution is our lockable hot and cold water outdoor hand washing station

Outdoor hand washing is a key element of remaining safe during the pandemic.  UK Government and HSE and NHS  hand washing procedure is for hands to be properly washed with soap outdoors - before anyone enters a building.  Cleaning hands thoroughly and often, remains one of the most important ways to reduce the spread of COVID. Hand-washing with soap is more effective at removing bacteria and viruses from the skin than sanitising. Hand sanitising must be extra to outdoor hand-washing, not instead. This means:

Providing facilities at entry and exit points so hand washing for children and visitors can be completed when they arrive and leave.

Hand-washing facilities so people can wash their hands frequently.

Making sure your hand washing facilities have running water, soap and paper towels or hand dryers

 The obvious answer has been to install sinks outside. However, sinks are vulnerable to vandalism, taps being left running and freezing pipes in winter. It is also more difficult to keep outside sinks clean.

 

 

It can be easily installed outside any entry point so every child, teacher and visitor can wash their hands with hot water and soap before entering school, and returning after playtime. Our lockable solution also provides much needed outside drinking water for children too with the same protection against misuse and the elements that normally makes it impractical to provide.
