EDUCATION & STUDENT FACILITIES
cross-contamination. The dispenser also requires an exceptionally low pull force which makes it highly suitable for younger children.
Secondary school students need to understand why hand hygiene is so important if they are to practise it regularly. The Tork Safe at Work Education Toolkit provides guidance posters for students along with cleaning tips for FM staff and instructions on where best to place sanitiser dispensers such as in libraries, science labs and sports halls. The kit also includes suggestions on how to engage students in activities to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 and other pathogens. It also provides cleaning tips relating to school surfaces that are likely to require greater attention.
Poor hand hygiene compliance is not the only issue facing secondary schools. Over-consumption, waste, vandalism and mess can all be problematical and will contribute to driving up costs.
Loose toilet rolls are a particularly bad fit in a school washroom because they may be pilfered, thrown around or left on the floor to become wet and contaminated. As a result, all toilet paper should be housed in dispensers that control consumption and prevent waste.
The Tork SmartOne system works well in educational establishments since the dispenser is designed to give

out only one sheet of paper at a time. This helps to reduce consumption by 40% and bring down costs. The lockable dispenser also eliminates the risk of rolls being taken out and thrown around the washroom.
Tork SmartOne is also hygienic because there is no need for the user to insert a hand inside the dispenser to access the paper, which means everyone only touches the toilet tissue they use.
Hand hygiene could be compromised in schools where the soap and paper has been allowed to run out. This is where technology can help.
With the aid of Tork Vision Cleaning, school cleaners can remotely check on which dispensers are running low via ‘connected’ washroom dispensers. This allows them to top up the units at any time, avoiding run-outs.
This autumn term will feel very different - just like the last one did. Students and teachers will again be expected to adopt new practices and become accustomed to new norms. But by exercising caution, by enhancing cleaning protocols and by encouraging good hand hygiene, the risks can be managed and the return to school will be a positive experience for all.
