Hand Sanitisation for deployment in high pedestrian flow areas

该项目旨在完成一种新产品的开发、测试和试验，以促进在人流量大的地方进行洗手。手卫生现在是一项基本和永久的公共卫生重点。目前的政府指南强调需要**“在公共场所提供自动洗手器”**在繁忙的高流量区域（如火车站）使用洗手器的比例可以忽略不计，调查数据显示只有不到0.4%的人使用“停车-分发”洗手器。现有的解决方案根本不适合目的。传统的分配器（“停药-分药”）会扰乱人流，导致低吸收量。在充分利用的情况下，即使没有保持社交距离，也会导致排队，这是不切实际的。“即停即发”的机器每分钟可以处理5到7个人，需要在社交距离外排队。伦敦地铁的检票口每分钟可接待45人以上。拟议的项目是完成一种专门为高人流量环境设计的独特产品的开发和测试。关键的产品设计目标是：\*以与伦敦地铁检票口相同的速度处理人员\*允许双手不停车消毒，即使拿着包或手机。*以最有效的方式分配一致的水基消毒剂，减少卫生化学品的浪费和过度使用*消除使用一次性塑料容器，这种容器用于“停止即用”解决方案。该项目具有显著的可持续性效益，包括减少化学废物和减少一次性塑料容器。更广泛的二级市场机会是巨大的，英国有超过5万所大学、学校、体育设施、医院、购物中心和大型超市，客流量每年超过152亿美元。

The project is to complete the development, testing and piloting of a new product to facilitate hand sanitisation in high footfall locations.Hand hygiene is now an essential and permanent public health priority.Current Government Guidance emphasises need for **" provision of automated hand sanitisation dispensers in public places "**Take-up rates for hand sanitation in busy high-volume areas such as train stations are negligible with survey data showing less than 0.4% of people using "stop-and-dispense" sanitisation dispensers.Solutions in place are simply not fit for purpose.Traditional dispensers ("stop-and-dispense") disrupt the flow of people resulting in low take up. At full utilization queues would result which are impractical to facilitate even without social distancing."Stop-and-dispense" machines can process between 5 and 7 people per minute with a socially distanced queue requirement. A London Underground ticket gate can process over 45 people per minute.The proposed project is to complete the development and testing of a unique product specifically designed for high people-flow environments. The key product design objectives are:\* Process people at the same rate as a London Underground ticket barrier\* Allow both hands to be sanitised without stopping, even if carrying a bag or phone.\* Reduce wastage and overuse of sanitation chemicals by dispensing a consistent measure of water-based sanitiser in the most efficient manner possible\* Eliminate use of single use plastic containers that are used in "stop-and-dispense" solutions.The project has significant sustainability benefits incuding reduction of chemical wastes and, reduction of single use plastic containers.The broader secondary market opportunities are significant, the UK has in excess of 50,000 Universities, Schools, Sports Facilities, Hospitals, Shopping Centres and major Supermarkets with foot flow levels exceeding 15.2 Bn/year.
