EBOM-2009 IEQp3:Green Cleaning Policy

Hand hygiene sign locations

We are working on a LEED for Schools project. Can anyone provide clarity on if the hand hygiene notices are only required at the staff/employee sinks to help achieve this credit? Or is it enough to have a sign with all the other staff notifications (ie. workmans comp, etc)? Thanks!

Hi Sara, if you're doing a LEED for Schools project, then this is a LEED-EBOM prerequisite and it shouldn't apply. Unless you are a school doing LEED-EBOM?

Hi Tristan, Thanks for the response. I'm going for it under the Innovation Points in a LEED for Schools 2009 project. I actually already submitted it and am responding to the reviewers comments.

Sara, it might help to answer the question if you shared the review comment. Did they ask you to provide more signage?

No unfortunately I missed the whole requirement for the hand hygiene, so the review just states the requirement: "Provide a revised policy that includes strategies for promoting and improving hand hygiene...." Another project here in our office added signage to each sink, but I'm thinking that is overkill for a school. I've revised the policy to include the hand hygiene instructions as part of the staff training.

The more I think about it, I'm getting hung up on the signage issue which probably isn't necessary. My question is "Does anyone have suggestions for the strategies for promoting and improving hand hygiene" beyond staff training?" Thanks for any clarity or success stories that could be provided.

Hi Sara, A couple of good non-signage strategies for promoting hand hygiene are to offer alcohol-based, waterless hand sanitizer in common/high-traffic areas, and installing touchless soap dispensers.
