1. Waterless hand sanitizer 

2. Friction.

3. We recommend that FDA or Canada Health approved gel hand sanitizer be used with our wrist bands.

Four steps:

1. Make sure all organic matter is removed from hands.
   All visible organic matter (for example: dirt) must be removed from hands prior to applying waterless hand sanitizer.

2. Squeeze a small amount of hand sanitizer from the wrist band into the palm of your hand.

3. Rub hands together covering all surfaces of hands and fingers.

4. Rub until waterless hand sanitizer is absorbed.

·       Waterless hand sanitizer provides several advantages over hand washing with soap and water. However, they are not effective if organic matter (dirt, food, or other material) is visible on hands. 

​

·       Benefits of waterless hand sanitizer:

o   require less time than hand washing

o   act quickly to kill microorganisms on hands

o   are more accessible than sinks

o   reduce bacterial counts on hands

o   do not promote antimicrobial resistance

o   are less irritating to skin than soap and water
