Hand Washing

 
Hand Washing.
 
Good hand washing hygiene is essential in school to help stop nasty bugs spreading amongst the pupils and staff. Washing your hands properly should take about as long as singing "Happy Birthday" twice (around 20 seconds). Use the following steps from the World Health Organization while you hum:
 
1.Wet your hands with water (warm or cold).
 
 
2. Apply enough soap to cover all over your hands. You can use alcohol-based handrub if you do not have immediate access to soap and water.
 
 
3. Rub hands palm to palm.
 
 
4. Rub the back of your left hand with your right palm with interlaced fingers. Repeat with the other hand.
 
 
5. Rub your palms together with fingers interlaced.
 
 
6. Rub the backs of your fingers against your palms with fingers interlocked.
 
 
7. Clasp your left thumb with your right hand and rub in rotation. Repeat with your left hand and right thumb.
 
 
8. Rub the tips of your fingers in the other palm in a circular motion, going backwards and forwards. Repeat with the other hand.
