WASHROOM HYGIENE REMAINS A BARRIER FOR
BRITS RETURNING TO THEIR FAVOURITE EATERIES
A er a challenging end to the year, creating
healthy spaces and the way we fight germs is
still more important than ever before.
A recent study, by leading hygiene services
provider Citron Hygiene, found that 43 per cent
of Brits claim having to use an ‘away from home’
which is essential in controlling the spread of
infections. Without the correct facilities in place,
viruses and diseases have the potential to spread
rapidly and aggressively.
To keep your washroom users happy, washroom
supplies need to be stocked and maintained at
all times. Regularly disinfecting and sanitising
commonly touched surfaces such as door handles
and soap levers can be key to infection control.
At Citron Hygiene, we have more than 40 years
of experience providing hygiene solutions to
businesses of all shapes and sizes. Our mission
is to provide clients with a safe, hygienic and
refreshing building environment for their
employees and customers – especially in these
unprecedented and changing times.

their favourite shops, restaurants, or bars.
The use of hand sanitisers at the exits and
motion sensors to keep things ‘hands-free’ are
among the top things that would help people feel
more comfortable when using a public washroom.

AVOID WINTER SLIPS AND FALLS
Safety Signs Manufacturer and Safety Products
Supplier Spectrum Industrial have launched a
campaign ‘Avoid Winter Slips and Falls to help
raise awareness of the accidents that occur at
workplace premises due to bad weather in the
winter months.
According to the Health & Safety Executive,
slips and falls in the workplace cost employers
over £500m per year! Employers have a duty to
provide a safe place of work and this includes
avoiding slips and falls which occur more
frequently in winter due to wet floors, snow
and ice.
Spectrum Industrial have produced an
infographic with useful tips to avoid winter
slips and falls, available for download at
spectrum-industrial.co.uk.
Spectrum have over 25 years experience
supplying health and signage which meet all
relevant standards including BS 5499 and ISO
EN 7010.
The traditional signage range for winter includes a selection of temporary signs
A Boards and Road signs to warn individuals of potential hazards and to take
extra care in the vicinity, as well as Grit Bin kits and de-icing salt that can be easily
located around premises to prepare paths, roads and car parks.
With around 3000 people admitted to hospital from winter slips and falls
(hospital statistics England), and the significant costs to business, this simple
investment in winter preparation products would help to avoid serious injuries.

The study also
found that a third of
UK adults admitted
that the increase in
coronavirus cases
has no bearing on
how important they
thought it was to
wash their hands
more regularly, with
the average Brit
soaping their hands
eight times-a-day.

INTRODUCING COVGUARD SHYCOCAN, A
BREAKTHROUGH INNOVATION AGAINST
CORONAVIRUS IN ENCLOSED SPACES
COVGUARD SHYCOCAN is a breakthrough
innovation now available to defend against
coronavirus within enclosed spaces. The
device, launched by BV Consulting, is
designed to disarm, disable and protect
against COVID-19, providing real-time
protection in buildings.
It works by releasing safe, negatively
charged electrons which neutralise the spike (S) proteins on the virus, so that
they cannot attach to human cells. Powered by Scalene Hypercharge Corona
Cannon (SHYCOCAN), the emanated electron cloud actively ‘disarms’ and
disables air and surface transmission. The product has been tested and proven
to be e ective against 99.9% of the Corona family of viruses. It does not kill the
virus; but works to stop it attaching and infecting a host cell in enclosed spaces.
The Covguard Shycocan is designed to be wall-mounted in corridors and
rooms in any facility. Its hyper-charged cannon fires trillions of electrons per
second, reaching an area of 1,000 square feet and covering every corner, nook
and surface.
The product, which has a power consumption of 30W is designated for
real-time continuous use and is recommended to be on 24/7 for continuous
protection.
COVGUARD SHYCOCAN was invented by Dr Rajah Vijay Kumar, a scientist from
India who first started developing it in 2014-15 in response to the SARS virus.
The device costs £785 +VAT for UK delivery.
