Broken: Hand-washing sign placement
Anthony Malloy writes:
This sign is above the taps in our men's washroom.Why do I think it's broken? The intent of the sign is to remind people of good hygiene - wash your hands before heading back to work. Only thing is, it is above the taps, and if you're there you're probably already going to wash your hands. This sign should be on the door that leads out of the cubicle area.
I also find it funny that the sign underlines hands - as if people are busy washing other body parts, but not hands.
Yes I would have underlined Wash, and also had it fly off the wall and beat people to death who were attempting to escape without washing their hands.
Pleas i am after some pictures for hand washing and germ stopper.I am doing a presentation on germs and hand washing
Well, humans these days are getting more idiotic, so perhaps they would try washing some appendage other than hands.
This is what happens when you give the sign to someone who is thinking about the beer blast they are going to that night. Yeah put it on the restroom exit door!
I WASH MY HANDS BEFORE I GO. I think it makes more sense since germs spread when somebody's dirty hands touch something "important" (food or body). What if somebody sneezed before they came in and you open the door after them? How can a person go without washing their hands?

Are there mirrors above the taps? Maybe it's designed to catch the attention of those who are looking in that direction but are walking by to check their hair, etc. Even so, better placement may be an issue (on the mirror).
