I’m a woman who owns a business that employees mainly men. How do I get a lot of them to wash their hands after they use the toilet?
This has been an ongoing issue for over a year now. I’ve had some men come to me and complain that a lot of the men are not washing their hands after using the toilet. We work with machinery and tools so a lot of the time gloves and/or barrier cream are used anyway but it’s the handles in between, when they go in the break room straight after they are touching the kettle, the microwave, the coffee machine, the food and drink that is there for them. I’ve even had one man come to me and show me literal shit on the inside door handle of the men’s toilet where someone had it on their hands and didn’t wash afterwards.
After this I installed toilet doors that can be opened automatically by pressing a button on the bottom of the wall with a tap of your foot and signs and even a fucking message from a speaker that plays every two minutes reminding people to wash their hands. I then got someone to come in and do a talk on the importance of washing your hands before using the toilet when working with machinery and oils and after using the toilet to stop the spread of germs.
Yesterday I again had another complaint about someone not washing their hands and when I got him in to the office and said this is the third time I’ve had separate people complaining about him he said he just doesn’t want to do it. He works in the packing and distribution where gloves are optional.
I’m at a loss here.
