GOJO SUGGEST A HANDS-ON APPROACH TO REDUCING SICK
DAYS THIS WINTER Hand hygiene is vitally important. It plays a significant role in increasing well-being, and is paramount in helping to prevent the spread of germs. Research suggests that a comprehensive hand hygiene programme in the workplace can have a significant impact on the health of employees, reduce absenteeism, and improve the perception of company concern for employee well-being.
The UK Office for National Statistics estimates that more than 400 million working days were lost due to sickness absence between 2013 and 2015, including 138.7 million working days lost in 2015 alone.
Mike Sullivan, Managing Director of GOJO Industries-Europe, said, “The winter months traditionally see an increase in highly contagious viral illnesses, which can be quite debilitating. Infections can be effectively prevented from spreading round the workplace through strong hand hygiene compliance, not only

during cold and flu season but throughout the year.
“GOJO can also offer advice on the most effective approaches to introducing a hand hygiene programme, and provide educational materials alongside our trusted hygiene products.”
Having a wide range of hand washing and sanitising solutions located throughout a facility can help boost hand hygiene in both staff and visitors.
Dispensers can be wall-mounted, free-standing, push-activated or touch- free. Soaps can come in gel or foam format, with or without fragrance; and hygienic hand rubs can also provide another level of protection in addition to hand washing.
Designed to bridge the gap between dispensers and bottles, systems such as the PURELL ES™ Everywhere System – the smallest, most versatile PURELL system in the market – can help to increase workplace hygiene and reduce sick days, according to GOJO. The PURELL ES™ Everywhere System combines premium aesthetics with the trusted PURELL®
Advanced
Hygienic Hand Rub, offering innovative placement options, ideal in a variety of settings, with the ultimate in germ- killing effectiveness.
