Covid-19 Infection Control Hand Wash Units

Specially fabricated Covid-19 infection control hand wash units, ideal for hospitals, temporary field hospitals and factories. Designed to fill the gap created by the shortage of stainless steel hand wash basins.

Infection control wash basins are recommended as the first line of defense in the fight against spreading infection and Coronavirus.

These medical hand wash basins have been designed to offer maximum hand washing area whilst remaining easy to manufacture in short lead times. The Coronavirus has quickly depleted the UK's stock of pressed stainless steel washbasins leaving a shortage of hand washing solutions when they are needed the most.These have been designed in conjunction with the contractors and frontline staff building and working in both our permanent hospitals and the temporary Nightingale Field Hospitals being constructed around the country.

Hand washing and hand hygiene for Infection Control

One of the most important things you can do to help prevent and control the spread of many illnesses is to thoroughly and regularly wash your hands. Good hand hygiene will reduce the risk of spreading Coronavirus and other viruses like flu, coughs and colds as well as food poisoning and healthcare associated infections.

When do you need to wash your hands?

Your hands will carry lots of germs normally and it has always been advocated to wash hands thoroughly:

after coughing or sneezing into your hands
after visiting the toilet
before handling food
when visibly dirty

In the current climate it is now advocated to wash your hands thoroughly:

before leaving home
when arriving at your destination
after handling money
as soon as you return home
after handling deliveries to your home or premises

Washing your hands more regularly will help to stop coronavirus from spreading.
