HAND HYGIENE

The Complete CQC Hand Hygiene Training System

The SHOWBOX PRO is a complete hand hygiene training system based around our next generation, professional grade UV light box system, and the first comprehensive hygiene training kit designed for essential CQC Hygiene Training for:

This lightweight, table top ‘dark theatre’ allows you to see UV GERM particles remaining on hands after washing (or acquired through cross-contamination demonstrations) making it perfect for training in brightly lit rooms or areas which cannot be darkened easily.

When needed, it simply pops-up in seconds for an instant, ready-to-use hygiene training station, anywhere! When not in use it folds flat for easy storage or transportation

Its about the right UV light

UV GERM Training products are all but invisible in ordinary light. To see them (or reveal their presence) you’ll need a UV Light source of a certain type and quality.

So at the heart of the SHOWBOX PRO we placed the New UV PRO Forensic Strip. A High quality, low profile UV LED array that produces UV-rich blacklight at an essential 365nm.

With no batteries or expensive UV bulbs to replace, its inexpensive to use and completely maintenance free, plus with very low energy consumption, it’s rightfully ECO friendly too.

PPE Glove-Safe Training

Before providing Glove Hygiene Training. Have trainees don a pair of gloves in their usual way...

Dispense UV GERM lotion into one hand and rub well over both hands and wrists.

Rub in the UV GERM training lotion into hands and wrists then place gloved hands under UV light to verify full coverage.

Remove and dispose of the gloves then place hands back under the UV light. Gloves not removed (doffed) correctly will often leave trace cross-contamination on the hands or wrists!

In this example, a trainee removed their gloves incorrectly, picked them up to dispose of them and cross-contaminated their hand!

Wash hands properly to remove any residual traces of UV GERM lotion.

Now provide Glove Hygiene Training and repeat the above. If they have learned to do it properly, they will be able to remove their gloves safely without cross-contaminating themselves!

Training staff to properly use disposable PPE gloves is essential to maintaining hygiene and safety in the workplace, especially in healthcare, food service, and industrial environments. The training objective is to ensure disposable gloves can be safely donned and doffed without the outer ‘contaminated’ side coming into contact with the hands, skin or clothing of the wearer.

Learning to safely don (put-on) and doff (take-off) disposable gloves in the correct, professional way dramatically reduces risks of cross-contamination.

Hand Rub Training Steps

The principle is simple; for hand rub to be fully effective, it must correctly applied so that it covers the entire surface area of both hands and wrists.

Any gaps (no matter how small) in this coverage, means, the alcohol hand rub may not be effective!

But how do you see what is and is properly covered?

This is where UV GERM Hand Rub Training Gel comes in. A hypoallergenic, skin-safe gel, it contains a harmless, invisible UV ingredient, which when exposed to a UV light, will glow (fluoresce) bright blue.

This serves to show exactly which parts of the hands and wrists have (and more importantly) have not been properly covered (sanitised).

1 Wash and Dry hands First

Hand sanitizer is only fully effective on visibly clean (unsoiled) hands and skin. Have the attendees wash and dry their hands properly in preparation.

2 Dispense Hand Rub Training Gel

Dispense a small amount of Hand Rub Training gel into the hands. Roughly the same mount as would be dispensed by a Hand Sanitizer Dispenser.

3. Rub into Hands

For the first attempt (and before any training), have the attendee rub the gel into their hands.

4. Check the results

Now have them place their hands inside the Showbox (or other darkend area) and see the results. The vast majority of their hands will probably be covered. However, its the tiny dark areas on the hands and wrists that are the danger zones. This is where microbes and bacteria can hide, safe from the sanitizers reach. Remember, it only takes a speck to cross-contaminate!

5. Now Teach them how to do it properly

Having seen with their own eyes, the evidence of apply hand rub incorrectly, you would now teach them the correct technique and repeat the above steps 1 through 4 until they get it right.
