Tork champions safe patient care on
World Hand Hygiene Day Essity’s Tork brand is calling on all healthcare organisations around the globe to establish an Institutional Safety Climate for this year’s World Hand Hygiene Day.
The aim of the move would be to encourage hand hygiene role models and build safer patient environments.
Good hand hygiene prevents up to 50% of healthcare- acquired infections, according to theWorld Health Organization (WHO). Research carried out by Essity has also revealed that eight out of 10 healthcare professionals
would like to improve their hand hygiene compliance.
Thomas Bergin, Essity Professional Hygiene’s Marketing Director Healthcare, said: “Proper hand hygiene saves lives. It’s the collective responsibility of everyone within healthcare worldwide to maintain high standards, and fostering a culture of institutional safety within healthcare organisations keeps hand hygiene top of mind.”
In order to support healthcare professionals and enable safer healthcare environments, Essity has developed Tork Clean Hands Training in collaboration with behavioural scientists and world-leading hand hygiene experts.
Tork Clean Hands Training invites users into a digital world where they can interact and train using WHO’s own ‘My Five Moments of Hand Hygiene’ in a realistic environment. Accessed almost 15,000 times since the end of 2019, Tork Clean Hands Training empowers healthcare professionals to achieve the highest possible safety standards.
Also from Tork are a range of soaps, hand towels, and hand sanitisers along with a highly useful dispenser placement guide based on WHO’s My Five Moments of Hand Hygiene.
Thomas added: “Research shows hand hygiene dispensers have a significant impact on compliance rates, and the key to success is making sure they are correctly placed.”
World Hand Hygiene Day, to be celebrated on 5 May 2022, is the WHO's annual call to action for healthcare workers. This year’s theme focuses on the fifth component of the WHO’s Multimodal Strategy for Hand Hygiene Compliance, creating an Institutional Safety Climate that prioritises high hand hygiene compliance in order to achieve the safety of patients and healthcare professionals on institutional and individual levels.

New cleaning robot for 14forty
FM business 14forty has introduced a sophisticated cleaning robot into parent company Compass Group UK & Ireland’s Chertsey headquarters to help reach its sustainability goals and maximise productivity.
The company partnered up with cleaning innovation specialist Killis to deploy the robot, named Hanzel in honour of Compass Group’s Hanzel Gardener, who sadly passed away during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Hanzel uses a scrubber dryer system which uses 70% less water and fewer chemicals than traditional cleaning products. It will play a key role in helping Compass Group achieve its target to reach net zero by 2030.
The robot will also support the cleaning team at Compass’ Chertsey base by cleaning open spaces, such as corridors, and freeing up team members’ time to focus on touchpoint and cross infection hotspots. 14forty will also demonstrate

and upsell the robot to clients, who may wish to utilise one in future cleaning contracts.
Hanzel can be operated and monitored through an app and is near-silent, which means that it can be operated at all hours of day or night without disturbance and minimal supervision. It also uses a dual brush system to remove dirt efficiently and leaves floors drier than other solutions thanks to stronger water extraction, helping to keep people safe at work.
Mauro Ortelli, 14Forty’s Managing Director, said: “The pandemic has highlighted the importance of keeping our environment and surfaces as clean as possible if we want our people to stay safe.
“The introduction of robotics to 14forty’s cleaning proposition will support our teams who work diligently to keep our clients’ buildings clean and sterilised day and night, helping their employees to feel at ease while at work.”
