Okay, I know I said I wouldn't be posting from inside the hospital, but I am just so taken by these handwashing stations that I had to share. Behold, the hands-free three-in-one sink you didn't know you were waiting for: the spigot on the left is for soap, the middle one squirts water, and on the right is an air hand dryer. Unintended consequence: there still need to be paper towels in the bathroom, because the door opens inward, and otherwise your hands-free clean hands would get dirty as soon as you touched the door handle to leave. Being stuck in this bathroom with no paper towels would be a germaphobe's worst nightmare.

A waste paper basket needs also to be by the door, so when you use the paper towel to turn the door handle you don't need to have mastered a Stephan Currie 3-point shot to dispose of the towel.
ReplyDeleteThey took away the paper towels in the restrooms where I work and installed very loud hand dryers to "save energy" Some people use toilet paper to grab the door handle. I wish they would remove the door.
ReplyDeleteOr they could reverse the hinges so you can just lean against the door to open it outward without having to turn a handle. And/or install an automatic or push-button door opener. All more ADA friendly and sanitary options.
