The holiday season has triggered yet more concern over the risk of contracting Swine Flu with travellers to and from the UK seeking to avoid coming into contact with the virus.

While UK has moved from the 'containment' to the 'treatment' phase of swine flu as the number of people catching swine flu continues to rise, government and public health bodies* continue to promote hand washing as being a sensible and essential preventative measure.

It’s not just travellers from the UK that are affected. The increased outbreak of Swine Flu in the UK could deter visitors to our shores, impacting on revenue earned from the tourist trade. The threatened pandemic makes it even more imperative to provide high standards of hygiene at points of entry to the country and in buildings and facilities that experience continuous traffic flow where people visit and congregate.

Demand of hand care products and systems continue to rise for suppliers such as Technical Concepts. The firm’s hand sanitizer product, Hygienic Hand Rub, and AutoFoam soap dispenser, which offer enhanced hygiene protection beyond conventional soap products, have been in particularly high demand.

Technical Concepts’ Hygienic Hand Rub, is a non-alcohol hand sanitizer with moisturizers that kills 99.9% of bacteria on the hands and provides residual bactericidal activity for up to 4 hours after application. It is available in 800ml Manual dispensing and, for best cost-in-use efficiency, 1100ml AutoFoam dispensing formats.
