Finally… A safer and more effective solution to hand hygiene

For years, Alcohol based hand sanitizers have been the usual choice for most health professionals. While there are alcohol free hand sanitizers available that incorporate Benzalkonium Chloride or other agents as the active ingredient, the rate of germ eradication has typically been found to be sub-par. To achieve an efficacy rate of Log 4 (99.99%) many institutions continue to utilize alcohol based hand sanitizers vs. the existing alcohol free products.

B David has launched an ALCOHOL FREE hand sanitizer with germ efficacy rates of LOG 5 (99.999% efficacy rate) without the potential side effects of alcohol based sanitizers. "You get the best of both worlds" Gary Thacher, a partner in the hygiene division  for the B. David Company. "Better Germ Eradication (Log 5), no skin irritation, no drying of the hands and it stays on and keeps protecting for 30 minutes to 2 hours." Alcohol based sanitizers evaporate after 10 seconds which brings into question their killing power. Also, alcohol has been shown to alter the natural flora of the skin which leaves hands susceptible to increased bacterial contamination.

B David Alcohol Free Foam Sanitizer is a very relevant product in today's environment. The emergence of "super bugs" has the marketplace seeking alternatives to yesterday's outdated technology, and B. David's next generation LOG5 alcohol free sanitizer delivers. Better efficacy, coupled with increased employee compliance due to the aesthetics of the formula, leads to a healthier workforce and reduced absenteeism (see study's below). Market penetration includes clinics, hospitals, local and state education systems, government agencies (Defense Department, State Department - Embassy's), financial institutions etc.... The Alcohol Free Foam Sanitizer is available in 1.7oz bottles, 8oz bottles and wall mount dispensers.

Employee Wellness and Safety Programs

Recent studies have shown that the actual costs associated with employees missing work due to sickness are staggering, and usually underestimated by employers. With H1N1 at pandemic levels and other afflictions spreading throughout the world, many companies are concerned about employee wellness and reducing absenteeism, yet they fail to calculate the bottom line costs of days lost to illness. Progressive companies are working diligently on their Absence Management Systems in order to reduce the number of sick days. B. David has an innovative new program which can help decrease that number, subsequently saving employers millions of dollars in absentee related costs.

This program involves B. David providing each employee with 1 month's supply of Alcohol Free Foam Sanitizer on a recurring basis. B. David also trains and educates the employees on how to use, when to use and how it will benefit them and the company over a period of time. The other aspect of this program is to provide 8oz bottles and wall mount units for restrooms, break rooms, and other public areas within the business as needed. See http://bdavidwater.com/HandSanitizer.html for more details on this program.

Employee Wellness Program... The End Result: 

Companies incorporating this wellness program can expect fewer sick days, increased productivity and a healthier workforce, all of which contribute to increased profits and higher employee morale. This is a self liquidating program where the savings realized by the company are typically a return on investment of 10 times the investment in B. David Alcohol Free Foaming Sanitizer.
