Hand washing is one of the most important steps you can take to avoid getting sick and spreading germs. The Centre for Disease Control and Prevention conducted a study which concluded that 80% of communicable diseases are transferred by touch alone. Also around 40% of food borne diseases are transmitted by germs on our hands.
Using soap and water is one of the best ways to reduce the amount of germs found on your hands. If you are washing your hands correctly, the process should take a minimum of 20 seconds. One of the most crucial places to wash your hands regularly is within high traffic places. Also in places that contain many shareable devices/tools such as offices. Some researches show that as many as 1 in 4 office workers don’t wash their hands after using the washroom.
According to a recent article released by post.com.au, Doctors and Nurses could be putting patient’s lives at risk by not washing their hands enough. View the article here.
