Taking Steps To Secure The New Hygiene Standard With Tork®
Over the past few months, manufacturers have been working hard to maintain production in reconfigured sites. Now, looking ahead towards continuing to optimise operations, it is the small but efficient changes that can have the most significant impact on helping to balance output with workers’ health and safety.
To maintain the wellbeing of employees as well as to ensure efficiency, hygiene compliance will be one of the most important things to keep in mind when moving forward in the new manufacturing landscape. By selecting the right hygiene solutions and paying attention to their placement, for example, improvements in efficiency can be achieved without compromising hygiene practices.
That is why Tork®, the leading global professional hygiene brand, is helping manufacturers make informed decisions about protocols and products in order to secure the new hygiene standard and ultimately maintain employee wellbeing through free resources and product recommendations.
The Tork PeakServe® Product Family
The comprehensive bundle of resources from Tork includes the newly expanded line of PeakServe dispensers; a range of high‑capacity dispensers designed to facilitate a consistent supply of paper towels. This versatile system allows workers to swiftly flow through washrooms and locker rooms at break or shift changes with minimised risk for infection, as well as improving efficiency for cleaning staff.
The PeakServe product ecosystem allows manufacturing facilities to serve washrooms with varied traffic flows, layouts and sizes using the same refills, thereby reducing the number of products staff need to handle and store. The slim dispensers have 35% more capacity than other products on the market, serving more than 600 people between refills whilst dispensing in only three seconds. The continuous towel system providing one‑at‑a‑time dispensing also contributes to creating less waste and lower consumption, which is better for budgets and for the planet.
Hand Hygiene Recommendations
To further encourage frequent and proper handwashing practices in manufacturing facilities, Tork also offers expert guidance on how to improve sanitiser usage through optimal dispenser placement as part of their drive to help manufacturers boots hygiene and efficiency.
As hand hygiene is proven to be one of the best ways to prevent the spread of germs, the downloadable guide includes tips on where, when and how workers should wash their hands, such as at the start and end of their shifts and after removing protective gloves, and when to opt for hand sanitiser over soap and water to prevent infection. Printable posters are also available completely for free to assist with proper handwashing practices and dispenser placement, alongside guidance on which products and dispensers best suit different facility needs.
Surface Cleaning Guidance
Selecting the right products to help maintain hygiene protocols in manufacturing facilities goes beyond just handwashing. To ensure employee health and mitigate cross‑contamination, making a well‑informed choice of cleaning products for frequently touched surfaces is also essential, as is training teams on the best practices for disinfecting. Contaminants can otherwise stay on surfaces and continue to be a threat for days if not removed.
Proper surface cleaning is one of the most critical practices for killing and preventing the spread of germs in manufacturing sites, and its importance has only gained more awareness in recent months. Tork’s guide to suitable products and key considerations for cleaning and disinfecting surfaces aims to eliminate all contaminants through proper usage. Surface hygiene, in addition to following proper hand hygiene routines, helps to slow down the spread of viruses and contributes to keeping employees safe and healthy.
