One of the simplest, most important lines of defence against the spread of many illnesses — from the common cold to more serious infections, such as meningitis, bronchiolitis, the flu and hepatitis A — is good hand washing.

Germs can easily be spread from one person’s hands to objects or other people that they have touched, which makes it vital to wash your hands frequently, and wash them correctly.

Many of our Augmented Reality (AR) capable guides, such as the School Canteen Guide to Food Safety & Nutrition and Veterinary Industry Guide to Workplace Safety now feature an interactive animation showing correct hand washing technique, to help ensure workers protect themselves and others against preventable health issues.
