No matter where you are or what you are doing, staying clean is crucial. People need a convenient place where they can wash up after using the restroom, between tasks, or at the end of their shift. Not only is it a matter of appearance and morale, but also it is a matter of hygiene. Read on to learn more about the importance of handwashing stations.
Appearance
Whether your workers are public-facing or not, appearances matter. People need somewhere to clean up to be presentable as necessary.
Morale
Nobody wants to feel dirty all day, especially not after a shift of hard work. Providing handwashing stations—or, better yet, mobile shower trailers—will ensure your crew can wash up well and come back for the next shift refreshed.
Hygiene
Most importantly, handwashing is fundamental to preventing and slowing the spread of illnesses. Hands are vectors for infections because we use them to touch shared objects like doorknobs, light switches, handrails, and so on. Plus, people frequently touch their eyes, nose, and mouth consciously and unconsciously. Washing with soap and clean water removes germs and significantly reduces instances of respiratory infections, diarrhea, and other illnesses. Make sure people follow proper handwashing procedures for maximum effectiveness.
