News – Wash – Innovation for your health and Security

Hand hygiene of the restaurant employees is the best way to gain the trust of customers.

Hygiene is one of the most important, yet simple requirements in the food industry. The catering industry and restaurants have direct access to the health of its customers. This gives them a huge responsibility. Customers rely on the fact that all the food and dishes are prepared in a clean environment.

More than just clean hands

A good handwashing device should teach the user how to wash their hands properly, and make sure that his / her hands are completely clean. In this way, the Eco micro-hygiene station, with the educational screen above it, is very effective. The software can also monitor whether the users wash their hands often enough, regarding the internal procedures of the company, and if they achieve the perfect hygiene score. Beside the software, the Soapy device uses warm water and a special soap to make the wash comfortable and effective.

The coffee machine, where germs are shared.

Many of us are working remotely right now, but not everyone does. The company kitchens, and more specifically the coffee machines and fridges are still being used. While washing hands before eating is a common habit, washing hands before touching the coffee machine, or the door of the kitchen chest is less usual. Yet, lots of germs and viruses can be transmitted through those contacts.

Hand hygiene for young and old in hospitals and care homes

Covid-19 emphasized the importance of hand hygiene. However, there are areas where hand washing has never been trivial. Examples here are hospitals and other care homes. A small illness or infection for a healthy person can very quickly turn into something more serious for a fragile or elderly person. Washing or disinfecting hands is therefore of utmost importance for the nursing staff, in contact with these residents. And not only the staff: children who visit their grandparents do not always wash their hands properly.

Food safety and hand hygiene

When it comes to food, hygiene is extremely important. In a food processing company, the manager is responsible for observing the regulations. The pressure then rests on his shoulders, but how can he really be sure that his employees and operators wash their hands when they are supposed to, and above all properly? Thanks to technology, team leaders can know who washed their hands at what time, and which washes were the most effective, with a simple click.
