With fall slowly beginning, it’s the perfect time to start preparing for the inevitable flu season. In high-traffic environments like schools, hospitals, and large facilities, illnesses can spread quickly. Keeping your facility clean and ensuring proper hand hygiene practices are the most effective ways to protect against the flu.
Symmetry's® complete line of hand hygiene products and Behavior Modification System (SBMS) help make maintaining a healthy environment easier than ever. From hand washes and sanitizers to strategically placed dispensers, the Symmetry Hand Hygiene Program is designed to fit the specific needs of your facility and encourage flu prevention.
The Symmetry Behavior Modification System (SBMS)
Symmetry employs behavioral science to promote better hand hygiene practices, especially during flu season when hygiene is key. SBMS uses tools like color cues, mirrors, floor decals, and flashing signs, all strategically designed to influence behavior and increase hand hygiene compliance.
This flu season, Symmetry’s Behavior Modification tools add a layer of immediacy to your hand hygiene program. Unique placards and signs with motivational messages can be placed in high-traffic areas, capturing attention and prompting immediate hand sanitizing or washing. SBMS is designed to drive action and INSPIRE hand hygiene.
