It is well recognized that hands are the
primary mode of transmission of many infectious
diseases.
Most workplace environments share
key predisposing factors that contribute
to infection transmission, such
as close working environments, shared
bathrooms and break rooms /
cafeterias for eating.
Absenteeism caused by
transmissible diseases is a major contributor to lost productivity in the workplace and to most companies.
