LEADERSHIP FORUM MISSION

We agree that by thinking and working together we can replace today's misinformation with integrated solutions. We can fill the gaps in the science of frequent hand washing, sanitising and good gloving.

We look beyond our individual products to change food and health care worker behaviours. Our metrics for success are increased hand hygiene, lowered rates of illness transfer and minimal operator risk. Our "applied science" approach has demonstrated that food and health care workers will actually wash their hands, sanitise and change their gloves... frequently!

The Handwashing Leadership Forum’s role is to support operators and regulators already searching for solutions to the ever-growing threat of foodborne and nosocomial illness. Poor handwashing, poor sanitising plus poor gloving now are the major risk factor in foodborne and nosocomial illness.

Reaching the many disciplines required to effectively manage the risk of illness transfer requires an integrated approach. Owners and executives need to understand the risks more clearly in order to build, equip, hire, train and operate kitchens, food plants and health care facilities with hand hygiene stations budgeted for success. Consultant/designers, managers, workers and regulators must all embrace the hand hygiene priority and operate from a common template.

The Handwashing Leadership Forum^® strives to provide the voice of applied science and leadership. It seeks to continuously lead the advancement of hand hygiene related safety.
