WHAT GETS MEASURED GETS DONE: Counting dispensers exclusively from Steiner Hygiene
Submitted by Larry Jackson on March 11, 2008 - 7:00am.
Frustrated by the Lack of Hand Hygiene
Management Tools?
Help is now available in the form of soap and sanitiser dispensers that count each time they are used. With counters managers can now set frequency standards, track performance and motivate employees. The Steiner dispensers have a delay mechanism that ensures that double counting does not occur.

What Gets Measured Gets Done
With counting dispensers installed managers in food and health care facilities can establish frequency standards for hand hygiene, track performance against these standards and report progress to employees, management, customers and regulators. The ability to count provides managers with the tool to hold employees accountable for their hand hygiene behaviour.

Importance of Surface Cleaning: ATP Seminar
Submitted by Larry Jackson on December 30, 2007 - 8:00am.
If you missed the Surface Cleaning Seminar held in Pretoria in April plan to attend a second seminar on June 19th. Access your invitation in the Upcoming Events box in the right hand column of this web page. ATP swab testing of surfaces (including hands) provides immediate, visible and reliable feedback on the degree of organic matter contamination. Immediate feedback lets you respond to contamination problems and reduce the risk for pathogen growth and cross contamination. Handwashingforlife® advocates ATP testing as a useful aid in auditing, staff training and equipment selection.

Submitted by Larry Jackson on February 10, 2008 - 9:40am.
Germstar is a non-allergenic hand sanitizer that kills 99.99% of the most common disease causing pathogens in one application.
The unique design of the Germstar dispenser encourages both employees and customers to sanitize their hands. Most importantly, the sealed bag system and the totally touch free dispenser prevents content and dispenser cross contamination.

Automatic and Hands Free Faucets
Submitted by Larry Jackson on August 9, 2007 - 5:24am.
Contrary to popular belief the installation of automatic faucets can actually save food service and health care facilities considerable money in water and electricity bills. Thousands of Rand in annual savings can pay back the initial investment in a few months.
