KEEP COLDS AND FLU AWAY THIS
WINTER WITH DEB It’s almost that time of year when swathes of the population are at increased risk of catching colds or flu. With winter around the corner, health and safety professionals can prevent the spread of germs and bacteria in their workplaces by taking hand hygiene seriously, says skin care expert Deb.
Given that 80% of all infections are transmitted by hands, regular handwashing with soap is widely seen as one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of germs and bacteria – and avoid infections. The practice could reduce the number of people catching colds by 45%, according to estimates.
Paul Jakeway, Deb’s Marketing Director said: “By implementing an effective hand hygiene programme, companies

SAFETY At the National Safety Council (NSC) Congress and Expo Blackline Safety introduced their turn-key, employee- worn safety monitoring device; G7.
The product integrates voice communication and work-anywhere wireless with automatic detection of injuries, health events and even exposure to explosive or toxic gases.
Cody Slater, CEO and Chairman of Blackline Safety commented: “Our new G7 product line pushes beyond the realm of lone worker monitoring and brings connected safety technology to every industry—for every employee at the worksite. It’s time that workplace safety is as thoroughly connected as our personal lives. Blackline’s safety technology tightly couples businesses with their entire workforce, providing the means to most efficiently respond to every situation where the worst occurs.”
Sean Stinson, VP Product Management and Sales added: “Alarms don’t save people—people

save people. Traditional personal gas detectors trigger an audible and visual alarm in the hope that a co-worker is nearby to hear and intervene.
“When an incident occurs, a business is on the clock. G7 changes the game by connecting the employee directly with live monitoring personnel who know the worker’s location—and any nearby colleagues—to deliver help in the shortest possible amount of time.”
Businesses can choose from G7 cellular and satellite options that provide communication to the Blackline’s cloud-hosted monitoring web application. Next, a choice of interchangeable cartridge options and gas sensors are available to customers, providing a second layer of configuration. G7 devices also leverage configuration profiles to meet the needs of employee roles and scenarios,
can go a long way towards avoiding the negative consequences of cold and flu infections, such as decreased productivity and low staff morale, as well as the financial burden.”
SICK LEAVE DUE TO COLDS IS CURRENTLY ESTIMATED TO COST UK BUSINESSES £1.3 BILLION EACH YEAR.
Deb offers skin care solutions that have been designed to help employees integrate hand hygiene into their working day with as much ease as possible – from regular handwashing with soap to the use of hand sanitisers where access to running water is inconvenient.
Deb’s foam soap solutions require 36% less product for an effective hand wash compared with traditional liquid or lotion soaps. This makes them a cost effective choice, especially in environments where handwashing needs to be frequent if infections are to be avoided.
BioCote silver ion technology has been incorporated into the full range of Deb’s built-to-last dispensers. This effectively reduces bacteria, mould and fungi on the surface. The equipment can be fully customised, allowing companies to feature their own branding on the equipment, if they wish to do so.
Deb also provides supporting materials to help health and safety professionals educate and train employees about the importance of regular hand hygiene and what they can do to prevent colds and the flu this autumn.
