Employees must wash hands...And?

it is surprising how many people do not wash their hands after going to the toilet, and I hate to say it but men are more guilty of this, for some reason they don't seem to think they need to, personally signs should not be necessary, it should be automatic,.....

maybe it is because they do not want to demand something from a paying customer, who may get offended and not want to visit that establishment ever again. Yet an employee can have something like that imposed on them because that's what employers can do to employees

Reckon I could do with one of the signs for our bathroom to remind my father to wash his hands after his been to the toilet, you can tell by the towel which is black that he hasn't. Sometimes I wonder if we are living in a nanny state having to be told like children to go and wash our hands, but when I've been using restrooms I have actually seen many times men go to the toilet then walk straight out, missing the wash basin en route!

Well obviously it does seem to be the case in many instances. Of course, half of the time where there is no soap in the bathroom and the water doesn't get rather warm. Or that the public restroom is not rather kept up, you could bath in water and not get completely clean. But I'm sure it is the thought that counts when you really think about it. Still, the public restrooms are rather not as well kept up to begin with. Still it is likely you should wash your hands. Of course, given everyone's germ ridden hands are touching the knobs to turn on the blasted sink, it doesn't do as much good as people think. Because some people decide not to wipe off the turn on every once in a while. But it is the thought that counts.

LOL. are you sure it's a public rest room? or a restroom for employees only? lol. just kidding. Well, anyways, i think that although that was a wrong sign, people should still wash their hands with or without any sign of hand washing. We should be health conscious and i think that thru hand washing we can prevent the spread of diseases.

Please wash your hands before leaving, should be enough of a reminder. There are a lot of people who will just continue to ignore it anyway. This is a habit everyone should have. It is sad that so many people never developed that habit growing up. On the other hand there are public washrooms that I have been in where the taps are not working or the sink is so filthy that I'm not sure if washing my hands there is making them cleaner or dirtier. I just wish everyone would make the effort to be clean.

Every time I am in a bathroom...hear the toilet flush and then the door slam right after wards I know someone hasn't washed their hands....and it makes me sick. Do they realize that they are carrying germs around to share with others...I read once where those candy bowls they have sitting by a cash registar are filled with germs....people go to the toilet before leaving a restaurant for example....dig in the bowl and fetch themselves a piece of candy...or mint. Yuck! Most kids in kindergarden know to wash their hands! Too bad adults don't remember!

It would've have been more appropriate to have a generic sign saying "Wash your hands after"or something like that. But I guess when it sounds like it's mandatory like what the sign had said, people have a tendency to follow it. But you're right, whatever sign is put or how the sign is worded, the fact of the matter is putting these signs shouldn't be necessary. We all should be aware of proper hygiene practices like washing our hands especially in public places but apparently there are still people who don't.

It bugs me whenever I go into a public restroom and see someone leave out of there without washing their hands. The last place I worked, it had a signed outlining with pictures a nine-step process when washing your hands a leaving the restroom. I always wash my hands and opened the door with the paper towel that I just dried my hands with, or my shirt so that my hands won't touch that door, eek. The opening the door with the paper towel started with an incident while I was staying in a dorm in college, which had a meningitis outbreak, and they told us about the dangers of contracting it, and precautions. Ever since then, I have been very cautious about opening restroom doors with my bare hand. Almost like having an OCD.

I think its better with the sign there, because people tend to forget the simple things especially during those busy days at work or at school. I mean a few minutes in washing can save your life, who knows, right? There are a lot sickness right now that can easily be transferred these days, so lets be extra careful, SIGNAGE or no SIGNAGE....

I personally do the hand washing ritual. In fact it is impossible for me to leave the bathroom without first Ihave washed the hands with soap and water. This should be a bon ton for everyone, regardless of whether they are workers, employees, or maybe just maybe people visiting a doctor's office. The strange thing is that many people at home do it this ritual, but when they are elsewhere, not practice, this gesture hygienic and civil.

Its more important that they remind there employees because it's a policy. But if somebody don't wanna wash there hands after using the bathroom that's them.(not me). But u never know maybe they have hand sanitizer. Me myself I don't care if the next peson don't wash there hands long as there no an employees do.

I have increasingly seen signs in bathrooms that actually say that washing your hands can prevent disease. I do believe most adults know they should wash their hands, but many are lazy. Personally, I think signs should be there to subtly encourage people, but in reality it should be automatic because cleanliness is important.
