Who should post the Hand Sanitizing Station Poster?
The 2020-21 COVID-19 public health emergency highlights the need for health and safety sanitation measures for all types of businesses and facilities. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advises that hand hygiene is one of the best ways to avoid getting sick and prevent the spread of germs to others. The CDC recommends the use of a hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol to reduce the number of germs on hands when soap and water is not available. Further, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards and guidance may require or recommend that certain businesses install hand sanitizing stations to prevent disease transmission.
These include:
- Medical and health care facilities
- Emergency response facilities
- Laboratories
- Meat and poultry processing plants
- Retail stores
- Childcare facilities and schools
- Personal service providers
- Transportation services
- Public accommodations
- Office environments
- Other workplaces where workers or vulnerable people may be exposed to hazardous substances or diseases
