Why this hand soap earns its place
Deb OxyBAC is an antibacterial foam hand soap for washrooms where germ-kill matters as much as clean hands — food preparation areas, busy back-of-house washrooms, anywhere hygiene compliance is checked rather than assumed.
Its active ingredient is accelerated hydrogen peroxide, giving it genuine antibacterial performance against bacteria, yeast, moulds and viruses rather than relying on fragrance to signal cleanliness.It's formulated perfume, dye and preservative-free, and is specifically non-tainting to food — a detail that matters in any kitchen where hands move between the washroom and food prep within minutes.
It's also been tested to pass the European Hand Sanitiser Standard EN1499, giving a recognised benchmark for its antibacterial hand-hygiene performance rather than just a manufacturer's claim.It's supplied as a 1Ltr cartridge, giving around 1429 measured 0.70ml shots — the cartridge is sold separately from the dispenser it's designed for, so it's worth checking the right dispenser is already in place before ordering. Being an environmentally considered formulation on top of its antibacterial credentials, it suits sites that want hygiene performance and a lighter chemical footprint in the same product.For a washroom or kitchen prep area that needs more than a standard hand soap — somewhere hygiene inspection or food safety compliance is genuinely on the line — OxyBAC is built specifically for that bar.
COSHH: six habits of safe chemical use
Control of Substances Hazardous to Health — the routine every commercial kitchen and cleaning cupboard is expected to run.
SDS
Read the label and the manufacturer’s safety data sheet — the pictograms tell you what you are holding.
Who could be harmed, and how badly? Judge likelihood against severity before anyone opens the cap.
Eliminate or substitute first, engineer and organise next — PPE is the last line, never the first.
Keep the controls working: check ventilation, dosing equipment and storage stay as they should be.
Everyone who uses it knows the hazards, the correct dilution and the PPE — before the first shift, not after.
Products and processes change. Reassess when they do, and keep the record that proves it.
