September 7, 2005—In recognition of “Clean Hands Week,” September 18-24, 2005, Kimberly-Clark Professional is offering free literature on proper hand washing and germ prevention. The information includes hand hygiene tips for the general public as well as for healthcare workers, and health and hygiene “wellness guides” for office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, hotels, and manufacturing sites.
A downloadable poster on the proper use of waterless hand sanitizers is also available. In addition, the information will continue to be posted on the Web site after “Clean Hands Week” ends.
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), hand washing is one of the most important things individuals can do to keep from getting sick, and improved hand hygiene can help reduce the number of both foodborne illnesses and hospital-acquired infections.
The information can be downloaded from the Kimberly-Clark Professional Web site.
Kimberly-Clark Professional, based in Roswell, Georgia, provides tissue, towel, and skin care products for away-from-home washrooms, as well as apparel, gloves, and wipers for workplace settings. Its well-known, global brands include Kleenex, Scott, Kimcare, Kimtech, Kleenguard, and Wypall.
