In a busy warehouse, maintaining high hygiene standards is particularly important. Good hand hygiene amongst staff is one of the most effective ways to prevent germs spreading through contact, and using modern fast jet hand dryers in your bathrooms can significantly help.

The Importance of Hand Hygiene

As we all learned through the pandemic, hand hygiene is at the heart of preventing infections from spreading. In warehouses where employees frequently handle various goods and equipment, the risk of germ transmission is above average, so ensuring that staff regularly wash their hands correctly helps to ensure a healthier workplace.

The Role of Hand Drying in Hygiene

While washing hands thoroughly with soap and water is essential, the drying process is equally important because wet hands can actually transfer germs more easily than dry hands. Ensuring that you have reliable hand dryers accessible to staff is important.

Jet Hand Dryers

Jet hand dryers use powerful jets of air to blow water off the skin, leaving hands dry without residual moisture. They are far faster and more efficient than conventional warm air hand dryers and unlike paper towels, which can leave fibres and contribute to waste, jet hand dryers can help to reduce your overall energy costs.

There are multiple benefits of choosing modern jet hand dryers like the Mitsubishi Electric Wave u02 instead of conventional designs:

Efficiency and Speed

Jet hand dryers work incredibly fast, drying hands in a matter of seconds. This rapid drying time reduces waiting times, encouraging more employees to wash and dry their hands properly, rather than skipping this crucial step due to time constraints.

Better Hygiene

The powerful air jets of these dryers minimise contact with surfaces, thereby reducing the risk of cross-contamination. Additionally, jet hand dryers feature HEPA filters that capture airborne bacteria and viruses, further enhancing their hygienic benefits.

Cost-Effectiveness

The efficiency of jet hand dryers – they use around one third of the electricity of a conventional style evaporative hand dryer they are much more cost-effective overall. Swapping to an efficient hand dryer from paper towels is even more cost effective and removes a substantial amount of waste that would otherwise need to be sent to landfill.
