A pedal operated touch-free hand sanitiser dispenser is the latest addition to a growing armoury of products keeping buildings COVID-secure.
With buildings reopening to accommodate a sall number of returning employees, FMs are having to make lots of changes to the buildings and offices to ensure they are made safe for more employees to return.
Chemtra Limited is distrbuting the Igieniko Hand Sanitiser Station in the UK, which it describes as the country's first completely touch-free wireless dispenser.
With its practical pedal-operation, the user simply places their hands under the dispenser, presses their foot down onto the pedal and out squeezes the gel.
The dispenser can be placed at entrances to buildings and at chosen locations inside offices.
It has been introduced to help protect staff from a major resurgence of Covid-19.
Available to buy online for £299, the stand has seen a huge increase in sales over the past month, according to Chemtra, as businesses prepare to welcome back more staff.
Along with the sanitising dispenser, the company is offering an 80 per cent alcohol sanitising solution which is EN1500 certified and World Health Organisation (WHO) formulation 1 approved.
This gives employees the confidence to return to the workplace in a safe and clean environment.
The Igieniko Hand Sanitiser Station holds five litres of sanitising gel – enough for around 5,000 pumps – and businesses can even customise the dispenser with their own corporate colours and logo.
Jesse Palle, managing director, comments: "The Igieniko Hand Sanitiser Station is an ideal solution for facilities managers who need to follow Government guidelines.
"The aim of the Igieniko station is to help keep employees and customers safe from touching a potentially contaminated hand sanitiser dispenser, stop the spread of coronavirus and avoid a second wave of the new coronavirus.
"The stand requires no cables, batteries or mains power and is completely wireless.
It’s light in weight and can be positioned wherever FMs would like to place it.
It has been designed with the individual in mind, ensuring a better user experience and safer operation for people of various heights.
"The stand’s five-litre unit capacity, means staff do not have to be constantly refilling the dispenser from plastic bottles, so it’s a very environmentally friendly option.
FMs also like the fact they can customise the dispenser to match their branding too."
