Hand Washing

Turn on the tap – you should have hot and cold running water
Wet your hands
Pump out soap and make a sufficient lather on your hands
Rub palm to palm
Then interlace your fingers – right hand over left hand and then left hand over right hand
Concentrate on the parts of the hand that carry most bacteria i.e. the finger tips, the fingernails
Concentrate on the thumbs and around the wrist
Ensure you cover the whole hand with a good lather from the soap
It should take at least 20 seconds to wash your hands properly
Rinse off your hands
Use a disposable towel to dry your hands properly
Remember drying your hands is just as important washing with soap and water
When finished put the disposable paper towel in the push pedal operated bin
