Hand Washing is the single most important means

of preventing the spread of infection.

Hand washing is a simple habit

that can help keep us healthy.



Clean hands save lives.
Hand washing is basic to food safety, personal health, and disease prevention.
Most people--including children and adults do not wash their hands as often or as well as needed.


Proper hand hygiene is the best way

to mitigate exposure to cold and flu,

and the spread of germs,

bacteria and viruses.

Washing hands with the appropriate soap and

water is the first line of defense.


Many illnesses can be avoided if adults,

children and caretakers

simply wash their hands correctly.

Make washing your hands the FIRST THING you do

when you return home from any activity outside the house.

Make it a regular practice to wash your hands as soon as you come in the door.

When should you wash your hands?

Wash your hands before you...

Prepare or eat food
Treat a cut or a wound
Wash your hands after you...

Go to the bathroom
Wash your hands thoroughly after your business.

ALWAYS

wash your hands before leaving the toilet.

On your way out, for personal hygiene, use a paper towel to grip the door handle if possible – (because we will never train everyone to wash their hands) or elbow through when somebody opens it from outside.

Wash your hands after you...

Handle uncooked foods, particularly raw meat,
poultry or fish
Change your children's diapers
Blow your nose, cough or sneeze
Play with your pet animals
Play/Work in the garden
Take out the rubbish
Of course, it's always important to wash your hands

whenever they look or feel dirty.



A simple way to stay healthy


Hand washing doesn't take much time
or effort,
but it offers great rewards in terms of preventing illness.

Adopting this simple habit
can play a major role in protecting our health.
