Question

Select all that apply
Waste receptacle
Non purfumed liquid soap in appropriate dispensers
Cotton towel
An employee handwashing sign

Answer 1

The five elements that are required for effective handwashing are:

1. Non perfumed liquid soap in appropriate dispensers
2. Hand drying device or disposable towels from a dispenser
3. Hot and cold running water
4. An employee handwashing sign
5. Waste receptacle

These elements contribute to promoting proper hand hygiene practices. Hand sanitiser is helpful but not a primary requirement for handwashing, and cotton towels are typically less effective than disposable options.
