Maintaining hand hygiene is critical in shared workspaces. Germs spread quickly, threatening employee health and productivity. Shockingly, 1 in 4 workers skip regular handwashing, increasing infection risks. Addressing this issue is essential for safer, more efficient workplaces.

Why Hand Hygiene Cannot Be Ignored

Clean hands are the primary defense against germs. Dirty hands transfer bacteria to surfaces, tools, and colleagues, causing illnesses like colds or flu. In busy offices, factories, or hospitals, poor hygiene can lead to outbreaks, absenteeism, and workflow interruptions.

Consequences of Poor Hand Hygiene

Neglecting handwashing allows germs to thrive on common touchpoints—doors, keyboards, and shared equipment. This not only risks health but also weakens workplace safety efforts.
