Why this hand sanitiser earns its place
This is a 70% ABV hand sanitiser that eliminates up to 99.9% of bacteria in just 30 seconds – quick, effective protection between tasks rather than a lengthy process that slows down a busy shift, whether that's between handling raw and cooked ingredients or simply between customers.
The evaporating, non-tacky formula means no sticky residue or overpowering alcohol smell lingering on hands afterwards, and being unperfumed it won't taint food during prep – an important distinction from most scented hand gels, which can leave a trace of fragrance on anything handled straight after, from delicate pastry to a plated dish.
It's tested to BS EN 1276, BS EN 1500:2013 and EN 14476:2013+A2:2019, covering bactericidal, hygienic hand rub and virucidal activity respectively, giving a documented basis to point to for any hygiene audit or compliance check rather than a general marketing claim. It's dispensed through a pump top for controlled, no-mess use rather than an open bottle that gets knocked over on a busy counter.
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.
