Why this hand soap earns its place
This antibacterial foam soap kills 99.9% of harmful bacteria and is formulated for healthcare and food prep environments, while still conditioning and softening skin rather than just stripping it clean.
It's food safe, which suits kitchen use, and carries a refreshing perfume that leaves hands smelling clean without being overpowering. It's designed as a refill for the Rubbermaid touch-free automatic dispenser, sold separately.
The pouch is hygienically sealed, avoiding the contamination risk of topping up an open bulk-fill system, and each pouch gives up to 4,000 doses, which delivers a strong cost-per-use in busy washrooms.
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.
