Hand washing
is the simplest and most cost-effective way of preventing the transmission of infection and thus reducing the incidence of healthcare-associated infections, according to the World Health Organization.
Hand washing helps to remove germs that might cause disease. Washing with soap and water kills many transient microorganisms and allows them to be mechanically removed by rinsing. Washing with antimicrobial products kills or inhibits the growth of microorganisms in deep layers of the skin. Alcohol hand-rubs are appropriate for rapid hand decontamination between. However, they are not a substitute for hand washing if hands are soiled.
Preventing heat stroke
Heat stroke is a dangerous condition in which body temperature is elevated dramatically.
It is a medical emergency and can be fatal if not promptly and properly treated.
Infants, the elderly, athletes, and outdoor workers are the groups at greatest risk for heat stroke.
The most important measures to prevent heat strokes are:
Take frequent breaks to hydrate by drinking plenty of fluids, such as water and sports drinks. Do not drink alcohol, coffee, and tea.
Avoid vigorous physical activities in hot and humid weather.
Wear hats and light-colored, lightweight and loose clothes.
