We are thrilled to announce that, thanks to orders placed by our customers for Proverb hand sanitiser products, 3 schools in underprivileged areas are now kitted out with sanitiser stations! 

This is because, for every Proverb hand sanitiser product bought, the company donates the equivalent quantity to underprivileged areas.

Banner is committed to an active and inclusive engagement with our local communities and this includes partnering with suppliers who offer social value initiatives. Proverb is just one example of how we work with our suppliers to deliver real social value.

Health workers may not be using hand sanitiser properly 

Incorrect use of hand sanitisers by healthcare staff may be leaving them inadequately protected, according to a recent study.

From radiation to infectious disease, medical employees have always been exposed to higher health risk than your regular office worker.

With many factors out of the individuals’ control, hospitals emphasize the importance of preventing infections through hygiene measures for hands and surfaces.

Understanding them both can help you reduce germs on surfaces throughout your facility.

You may think that wiping down surfaces with a diluted solution in a bucket or spray bottle is a quick, easy way to keep these areas germ-free. But there’s a big difference between cleaning and sanitising. Each has its advantages, but not all methods are created equal. Find out what sets them apart, and how you can get the most out of both in your facility.
