To maximize their effectiveness, hand hygiene posters should be placed in high-traffic areas and locations where handwashing facilities are available. Ideal locations include:
- Restrooms: Near sinks and hand dryers. - Entrances and Exits: To remind individuals to wash their hands upon entering or leaving a facility. - Break Rooms and Cafeterias: Where food is consumed and prepared. - Patient Rooms and Hospital Wards: To encourage healthcare workers and visitors to practice hand hygiene. - Classrooms and Common Areas: In schools and educational institutions.
