Johns Hopkins provides two free, downloadable posters used to remind healthcare workers about the importance of proper hand hygiene technique.
The posters, both titled "Hand Hygiene: How's Your Technique" use Petri dishes to contrast poor, better and perfect hand hygiene technique by showing how many germs are missed by imperfect technique.
Download the Hand Hygiene: How's Your Technique (I) (pdf) and Hand Hygiene: How's Your Technique (II) (pdf) posters for use in your facility.
