Hands On Approach To Flu Control

Your own two hands are the first line of defense when trying to avoid the flu virus for six months of the year. The flu can so easily maneuver its way from one surface to the next, and the next, and then to your hands. Once the flu gets on your hands it can survive for 15 minutes. 

Those next 15 minutes will determine how you will be spending the next 10 days. You see, the flu virus can survive on human tissue for 15 minutes. The clock starts ticking as soon as you come into contact with the virus. If you touch your eyes, mouth or nose in those next 15 minutes; chances are, you will be coming down with the flu.

A product that is so convenient to help reduce the spread of germs in your workspace is Safetec’s p.a.w.s.® Antimicrobial Hand Wipes.

Without having to wash your hands with soap and water, you can easily take a pouch from a canister or a single use packet, wipe down your hands and throw it away (along with the bad germs).

The p.a.w.s.® wipe sanitizes your hands and removes soil and debris in the process. This wipe has the ability to kill 99.9% of the most common germs because it is formulated with 66.5% ethyl-alcohol. You can meet CDC, APIC and OSHA handwashing recommendations by utilizing this wipe in your facility.

The costs of the flu can be astronomical between lost productivity, sick time and delayed shipments. You can read more about the costs of the flu in our new Fight The Flu eBook.
