Hand Washing
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has determined that the best defense
against cold and flu outbreaks is for people to wash their hands often. Most flu viruses hitch a ride on human hands and spread by direct contact. During cold weather and flu seasons, hand washing should be increased.

- The use of an antimicrobial or antibacterial soap is not necessary. A good quality soap that
lathers well will prevent the spread of diseases.
- Alcohol gels or other hand sanitizing products should be used as an alternative, not a
replacement for washing hands. Nothing works as well as a good hand washing.
- Hands should be washed many times during the day: when arriving and leaving the work
place, before and after eating or handling food, sneezing, coughing, or blowing nose.
