Hand Hygiene Program

Hand sanitizer dispensers stocked weekly and never empty when someone reaches for one. The hidden cost of a missing dispenser is a sick day — and the absenteeism that follows.

Why this matters

What goes wrong when it's half-done.

The hidden cost of a missing hand-sanitizer refill isn't a sanitation issue — it's the sick day someone took because they couldn't wash up between meetings, and the four colleagues they exposed before they noticed. Most vendors restock when someone complains. By then the gap has already cost you absentee days you'll never trace back to it. A real hand hygiene program is a per-touch-point inventory log, weekly refills, and dispensers placed where people actually move through the building.

How we run hand hygiene

Four operational principles, written into the route plan.

  1. Dispensers placed at the touch points your tenants actually use — entry, elevator bank, conference, kitchen, restroom exit — not just where the building came

  2. Weekly refill cycle, never reactive — empty dispenser is the silent failure mode

  3. Consumables tracked in a shared log; we restock before they run out, not after a complaint

  4. Foam, gel, or liquid sanitizer per zone — kitchen-adjacent zones get fragrance-free formulations

What's included

  • Initial walkthrough to map dispenser placement against actual tenant flow
  • Wall-mount dispenser install (mounting hardware on us)
  • Weekly refill cycle, logged
  • Dispenser maintenance — battery swaps, sensor calibration, jammed pumps
  • Consumable restock log shared with the office manager
  • Quarterly hygiene-touchpoint review to add or remove dispensers as flow changes

What's not included

We name the line items we won't quietly run past you.

  • Electrical work for hardwired dispensers (separate trade)
  • Soap, paper, and air-freshener stocking — those live in Restroom Sanitation + Paper Management
  • Dispenser warranty work on units we didn't supply (we'll service yours, but the warranty stays with you)
What we use, and why

Specific tools. Documented chemistry. Operator credibility through specificity.

Equipment

  • Touchless and manual sanitizer dispensers — both in the lineup, depending on building electrical and tenant preference
  • Foam and gel sanitizer formulations — alcohol-based per CDC guidance, fragrance-free options for medical and daycare
  • Wall-mount and floor-stand units placed by tenant flow, not by the original installer's defaults
  • Restock log on the same shared sheet as paper and soap

When to add this to a recurring program

Cadence options we run for Hand Hygiene: Weekly refill cycle, Bi-weekly (low-traffic accounts), Custom audit + restock cadence. We'll sequence it inside your existing program so the building doesn't see a second crew.
