School is back in session, and thousands of students are once again filling the hallways and classrooms. Amid this bustling environment, it’s essential to focus on proper hand hygiene, especially for young learners who are just beginning to grasp the concept of germs. Children may be less conscious than adults when it comes to handwashing, coughing, and sneezing etiquette. To tackle this challenge, Tork offers several innovative programs designed to promote hygiene and efficiency in schools. Let’s explore three solutions that can make a significant difference in enhancing hand hygiene in schools.
Tork “Healthy Hand” Poster Builder
Did you know that 80% of people are visual learners? This is especially true for young children. The Tork “Healthy Hand” Poster Builder addresses this by providing a visual aid for students near every bathroom sink. These posters offer step-by-step instructions on how to properly wash their hands, from using the right amount of soap, to scrubbing for the right amount of time. For instance, you’ve probably heard the advice to “sing Happy Birthday” while washing your hands to ensure thorough cleaning. These reminders are invaluable for instilling lifelong hand hygiene habits among young learners, ultimately reducing the spread of germs in schools. The Tork “Healthy Hand” Poster Builder allows users to create their own personalized posters or choose from a selection of ready-made templates.
Tork Vision Cleaning
We’ve all experienced that frustrating moment in a restroom when the paper towel dispenser is empty, and no staff member is in sight. This leaves you with no choice but to use toilet paper to dry your hands. But what if there was a way to prevent this situation by tracking every dispenser, understanding usage patterns, and knowing when it’s time for a refill?
With Tork Vision Cleaning, you can do just that. “Tork Vision Cleaning harnesses the power of real-time data to identify when and where there are service needs in your facility. This helps you meet expectations by maximizing efficiency, so you can work smarter and uphold the new hygiene standard,” (Torkusa.com). Tork Vision Cleaning offers benefits for everyone involved. Staff can reduce paper towel dispenser checks by up to 91%, saving up to 20% of cleaning hours. On the other hand, students and other restroom users will greatly appreciate having well-stocked paper towel dispensers. By embracing Tork Vision Cleaning, schools can ensure that hand hygiene is consistently maintained.
