Why correctly refilling disinfectant dispensers is important
Proper refilling of disinfectant dispensers is not just a “nice to have”; it is part of fundamental hygiene standards. The International Hygiene Organization (IHO) and numerous hygiene guidelines recommend clear procedures to prevent contamination and infection risks.
In particular, refilling from bulk containers, such as canisters, without a closed system poses microbiological risks. Improper handling can be dangerous not only for the health of employees and customers but also has implications for occupational safety. In the UK, the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations and Health and Safety at Work etc. Act requires employers to provide functioning and hygienic systems. This involves not only using the correct products but also handling them properly.
Compared with systems that allow open refilling or provide only basic instructions, CWS relies on a closed refill system with clear labelling and tested hygiene procedures. This ensures greater safety in everyday operations.
