Hi Nitti

This is a jurisdictional question. Who licences the facility? In the case of private aged care, probably the Commonwealth Aged Care Standards Agency (or whatever they are called now).

I doubt it is a condition of your licensing to display such signs. There may be a licensing requirement to have a hand hygiene program, which could include displayed signage, but it is not likely you would be required to.

I suggest you contact whoever licences your facilities for an answer.

Cheers
Michael

PS I am NOT saying hand hygiene signage is not a good idea. It definitely is to promote hand hygiene amongst your staff and residents.. But is a legal requirement? I doubt it.

Hi Nitti,

There may me a requirement under WH&S laws. Check with your Quality Manager as my Quality Manager raised the issue of hand hygiene posters with me last year and she did mention legislation.

Warm wishes,
