COVER STORY
CHANGING BEHAVIOURS
Buckeye International explain more about their Symmetry Hand Hygiene Programme, and how by following the Symmetry Behaviour Modification System, hand hygiene practices can be greatly increased.
Buckeye International are encouranging facilities managers and cleaning operatives around the world to utilise behavioral science to increase hand hygiene practices with unique tools based on six key tenets: Benevolence, Accountability, Responsibility, Variation, Emotion, and Direction.
Our Symmetry brand is firmly established as offering the most accepted hand hygiene products on the market. This is demonstrated regularly at any Symmetry Challenge. While our preferred products contribute significantly to increasing hand hygiene practices, they are one part of the Symmetry Hand Hygiene Programme. A complete programme is needed to maximise hand hygiene practices in your facility.
To further hand hygiene practices we have introduced the Symmetry Behavior Modification System (SBMS). As the newest element of the Symmetry Hand Hygiene Programme, the goal of SBMS is to provide tools that capture attention in the moment, driving an immediate hand hygiene event to take place.
CASE STUDY St. Joseph’s Villa and St. Gabriel’s Villa are affiliated nursing homes in Sudbury, Ontario that recently improved their hand hygiene programme and reduced their overall expenses with the Symmetry programme. Ken Weiman of WAT Supplies introduced Symmetry to Roger Leveille, and Trevor Martel, Environmental Services Manager at St. Joseph’s Villa and St. Gabriel’s Villa respectively.
Leveille and Martel wanted high quality products that were cost effective. Their previous hand hygiene products only came in smaller sizes, which required frequent product change-outs. Weiman explained that Symmetry hand hygiene products would save money and reduce the amount of change-outs with their flexible bags that yield 99% product evacuation rates. Leveille and Martel were impressed with Symmetry’s rich foaming quality and noted that only a small amount of product was needed to effectively clean hands.
Both Villas use Symmetry Unscented Green Certified Foaming Hand Wash, Symmetry Moisturising Hand Lotion, Symmetry Foaming Hand Sanitiser, Symmetry Hair, Hand and Body Wash, and Symmetry dispensers. Leveille and Martel particularly like Symmetry’s foam quality. Staff members have also commented on how Symmetry dispensers are very simple and easy to operate. They have also reduced their hand hygiene product costs by 30% since implementing the Symmetry programme.
As a result of the success at St. Joseph’s and St. Gabriel’s Villas, Weiman also earned the opportunity

to introduce Symmetry to Luc Blais, Maintenance Supervisor at Finlandia Village Nursing Home. Blais and his staff were already using several Buckeye products including Straight-Up pH Neutral Cleaner, Citation Floor Finish, Castleguard Floor Finish, Buckeye Blue All-Purpose Cleaner, Star Spray Glass Cleaner, and Gone H2O2 Carpet Spotter when he heard of the success Leveille and Martel had with Symmetry.
He was impressed to learn he could enjoy cost savings by switching to Symmetry products. Blais purchased Symmetry dispensers with Symmetry Unscented Green Certified Foaming Hand Wash, Symmetry Moisturising Hand Lotion, Symmetry Foaming Hand Sanitiser, and Symmetry Hair, Hand and Body Wash. Staff members are impressed with Symmetry’s high quality products and enjoy reduced product change-outs.
