Hand sanitiser has become a huge part of our daily routines, and is often a necessity when out and about. As restrictions continue in order to control the spread of coronavirus, it’s important to consider whether your business should invest in hand sanitising stations for your staff and customers. In particular, automatic hand sanitiser dispensers can be very beneficial in heavy traffic areas like shops, offices, hotels, schools and restaurants.

Automatic hand sanitiser dispensers can be instrumental in promoting good hygiene measures. So, if you haven’t already installed one in your workplace, here are 5 reasons why you should.

Easy to operate

Automatic hand sanitiser dispensers are simple to use, with easy installation and use. Many automatic dispensers run off batteries, with a touch-free sensor operation. In other words, all you need to do is fill the dispenser with sanitiser, put the batteries in and you’re good to go!

The common size batteries for automatic hand sanitiser dispensers are C, D and AA. You can find a range of reliable batteries on our website.

Reduce risk of infection

A hand sanitiser dispenser can reduce the risk of cross infection, especially if there are a lot of people coming and going. Asking staff and customers to sanitise on arrival can reduce the chance of infecting surfaces and promote a good standard of hygiene.

With an automatic dispenser, you can reduce this risk even further by removing the need to manually pump the dispenser.

Accessible

As automatic hand sanitiser dispensers are battery-operated, you can place it wherever seems most appropriate. Dispensers can come in different forms, including free-standing or wall mounted. Depending on the layout of your business or where sees the highest traffic of people, you can make sure there is a hand sanitising station for people to take advantage of.

Consider having an automatic dispenser at the entrance and at various points around your office, restaurant or shop.

Standardised dose

With an automatic dispenser, there’s little chance of getting too much or too little out of the pump; which is often the case with manual dispensers. Automatic dispensers can make sure the right amount of sanitiser comes out every time, making it much more efficient and effective.

If you’ve ever been a little too overzealous with a manual hand pump, you’ll understand how much of a relief an automatic dispenser can be!

Economic

A hand sanitiser dispenser only requires a one-off cost, with only the sanitiser itself needing to be refilled. Buying sanitiser in bulk can make your dispenser very cost-efficient and economic to use in the long run.

What’s more, you can also buy hand sanitiser dispenser batteries in bulk too, so you can avoid breaking the bank and being caught short!
