With many children starting a new school year today, health remains a huge priority among children and teachers in the classroom. There are a few different ways to ensure that the children and teachers remain healthy throughout the school year, such as: washing their hands properly, remaining up to date on vaccinations, and focusing on the importance of cleaning and sanitizing commonly touched surfaces.
According to the CDC, 40 percent of children ages 5-17 years missed three or more school days in the last year. 22 million school days are missed due to the common cold alone, and 38 million school days are missed due to the flu.
To protect and prevent the spread of germs in school, there are many actions that parents and school administration can take. For instance, if students and/or staff are sick, it is important to encourage them to stay home and to seek medical attention when necessary. It also would be beneficial to have a daily reminder regarding the spread of germs and illnesses and how to prevent them.
Safetec and Mountainside Medical know how imperative it is to carry an alcohol based hand sanitizer or sanitizing wipes with them. Luckily, Safetec manufactures both of these products, and we are privileged enough to have them in stock!
Instant Hand Sanitizer - in a fresh and citrus scent - is designed to keep hands clean and prevent the spread of harmful bacteria and germs. Made to kill 99.99% of germs within 15 seconds, this gel-based liquid hand sanitizer also evaporates quickly, doesn't require rinsing, has a clean, fresh scent, and contains skin-soothing aloe.
The Safetec Instant Hand Sanitizer Packets with Aloe, also come in handy for when children are on the go! This product is a hand antiseptic that is designed to kill germs and bacteria on the skin when soap and water isn't readily available. Small, individual packets make it easy for infection control, and allows children to carry them in their pockets wherever they go. They are lightly scented, also enriched with aloe to moisturize, and are made for single use to reduce risk of cross contamination!
