The design of hands under dryers means that water is directed downwards and away from the user as they dry their hands. In high traffic bathrooms when lots of people are using the dryers in quick succession, water can build up on the floor and walls, but there are steps you can take to reduce the slip hazard.
Ensuring the health and safety of bathroom users is important, and avoiding wet floors is vital if you want to prevent accidents. Modern hands under dryers such as the Mitsubishi Electric Wave u02 use fast moving jets of air to remove moisture quickly rather than evaporating it, and this water is blown downwards away from the user.
Although the amount of water left on someone’s hands after they have washed can vary from person to person, it is usually only a few millilitres, however if a lot of people are using the bathroom in quick succession, small pools could form and be spread around by people walking near the dryer.
One way to reduce the slip hazard near hands under hand dryers is to install non-slip mats directly below the dryer to capture any moisture that is lost.
