School safety initiative #2

Good health often starts with a simple habit: clean hands. From touching door handles and mobile phones to preparing food or caring for children, our hands come into contact with germs throughout the day. That is why regular hand hygiene plays an important role in protecting families, workplaces, and communities.




Hand washing is one of the easiest ways to reduce the spread of germs. Using soap or hand wash with clean water helps remove dirt, sweat, and many unwanted germs from the skin. It is especially important before eating, after using the washroom, after returning home from outside, and before touching a baby or caring for someone unwell.

Clean hands, better health

Good health starts with clean hands. We touch many surfaces every day, so germs spread easily. Regular hand hygiene helps protect your family and community.

• Wash hands before eating and after using the washroom
• Clean hands after coming home
