It is often assumed that hand sanitizers, as with many health and safety products, are really more suited to places where health and hygiene is of greatest importance, such as hospitals, health clinics and surgeries. It is also assumed that it is only really in such environments that the use of a hand sanitizer is most needed, since more germs are likely to be introduced, and the risk of cross contamination more likely. However, there is no real argument against having hand sanitizers in almost every business, since cross contamination is one of the main reasons businesses lose money. The number of people taking sick leave or having days off through sickness and illness is rising. This seems somewhat astonishing when you bear in mind that we now live in a time which boasts the most advanced medical facilities, the most detailed medical knowledge and the most effective medical treatments for everything from boils to backache. Why is it that the two facts can be considered together without question? We have access to the best health care and medical treatments, yet the number of us having to take time off work is still rising. The cost to businesses each year is in the millions, and affects everyone from large corporations to small businesses. Having a proportion of people off sick costs any business money, whether that happens to be in lower output, slower turnover or lost clients through the inability to man phones or retail outlets fully. It may even be as a result of having to pay higher rates for temporary relief staff.
