*On the surface Hand Washing seems simple, but doing it improperly can recontaminate your hands and leave you vulnerable to illness and disease.
Hand washing, as deemed by the CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention), is the single best way to avoid infection. Hand washing helps break up germs, dirt and other harmful particles on your hands with the combination of soap, water, friction and a paper towel.
On the surface hand washing is simple and elementary. However, many people do it improperly and actually walk away almost as contaminated (and sometimes more so) than before they washed. Plus, if hand washing is so simple then why don't all of us do it?
Follow the steps to proper hand washing to develop good hygiene and infection control habits. Once you have consistently incorporated infection control principles into your daily routines then you can experience increased health. Please note, we do not support over cleaning, hygiene OCD, germaphobia or other intense behaviors. We support a responsible approach to hygiene and recommend living in accordance with a few sound infection control principles.
If you have questions on how to best wash, teach others or promote hand hygiene then please email us (info@OUTFOXprevention.com) or go to our site www.OUTFOXprevention.com.

Signing UpStep 1: Prepare Towel before Washing Hands
If available, prepare a paper towel before you wash your hands. Most hand towel dispensers are automatic so wave your hand to have some of the paper extracted. Do not remove the paper from the dispenser at this time.

else...well...what happens when you leave the wash room? do you use another tissue to open another door? or do you wear gloves? That would make us another Mr Monk ( the TV program) :-)

So push ur rings up on ur fingers and wash the area under the rings well. Then turn ur attention too the rings. Turn them around on your fingers being sure to get soap all over them.
Of course u want to be VERY CAREFUL so ur rings don't slip off ur fingers and go down the drain with the germs (Which is what u are doing - the antimicrobal agents in OTC hand soap really aren't necessary. U wash MOST of the germs away and down the drain. Of course health care professionals need hospital grade antimicrobals that leave a residue on the hands keeping the number of germs there low.)

This is a great lesson and something that really, really needs to be taught!
If you are a teacher looking for lesson plans, coloring sheets, songs, books, etc. I can give you a great low cost resource. I'm not sure if we are supposed to give out company info here or not.
