HAND SANITIZING GEL

PRIMARY USES

1. Effective Hand Sanitisation for Clinical and Community Settings
Primary Use: Provides a convenient, leave-on antiseptic gel for hand sanitisation when soap and water are not available. Alcohol-based hand rub (ABHR) inactivates pathogens on hands and is an effective alternative to traditional handwashing with soap and water, especially in healthcare settings and situations where access to handwashing facilities is limited .
How it helps: For healthcare professionals and patients, alcohol-based hand rub effectively reduces the bacterial load on hands by over 99%, achieving the threshold for effective hand hygiene . The World Health Organisation recommends hand sanitisers containing at least 60% alcohol to ensure disinfectant efficacy . The gel formulation protects the skin of the hands from dryness better than liquid solutions in cases of frequent use, making it particularly suitable for busy clinical environments .

2. Hand Hygiene When Soap and Water Are Unavailable
Primary Use: ABHR is an effective alternative to soap and water when hands are not visibly dirty or soiled, and is recommended for use at key times to interrupt disease transmission via hands, including before and after clinical procedures, patient contact, and when entering or leaving healthcare facilities .
How it helps: For patients and visitors, the quick-drying, leave-on format of hand sanitiser allows for rapid hand disinfection without the need for water or towels, reducing the time barrier to proper hand hygiene. The most common hand sanitisers are alcohol-based products containing 60-70% ethyl alcohol, which has been shown to significantly reduce the pathogen load on hands . The gel consistency ensures better skin protection during frequent use .

SECONDARY USES

1. Pre-procedural and post-procedural hand antisepsis: Hand sanitiser is indicated for hand antisepsis by friction before and after clinical procedures or wearing gloves, reducing the risk of cross-contamination between patients and healthcare workers.

2. Public and community settings: In settings with high population density and transient populations, such as clinics, schools, and public spaces, hand sanitiser is quick and convenient to use, helping to reduce the transmission of faecal-oral and respiratory infectious diseases.

3. Skin protection during frequent use: The gel formulation protects better against skin dryness in cases of frequent use compared to liquid solutions, making it suitable for healthcare workers who sanitise their hands multiple times per shift.

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Flammable product: Hand sanitisers are flammable liquids. Store away from heat sources, sparks, and open flames. Do not smoke while using. Keep away from electrical equipment and ignition sources.
External use only: Do not ingest. If swallowed, contact a poison control centre or seek emergency medical attention immediately.
Avoid eye contact: In case of eye contact, rinse thoroughly with water. If irritation persists, seek medical advice.
Broken skin: Do not apply to damaged, broken, or irritated skin, as this may cause further irritation or systemic absorption.
Children: Keep out of reach of children. Use with adult supervision for paediatric patients.
Use only as directed: Follow recommended dosage (a palmful covering all hand surfaces) and application technique. Rub until dry. Do not use other than directed.
Storage: Store below 25°C, protect from direct sunlight, and keep container tightly sealed to prevent evaporation and maintain efficacy.
Disposal: Dispose of empty containers in accordance with local waste disposal regulations.

2. FIRST AID MEASURES

Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth with water. Contact a poison control centre or seek emergency medical attention immediately.
Eye contact: Rinse with plenty of clean, lukewarm water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists, seek medical advice.
Skin irritation: Discontinue use if rash or persistent irritation develops. If condition worsens or lasts more than 72 hours, consult a healthcare professional.
Inhalation (vapours): In case of exposure to high vapour concentrations (e.g., in enclosed spaces), move to fresh air. Seek medical attention if respiratory symptoms develop.

3. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flammability: Hand sanitiser is a flammable liquid. Will ignite if exposed to open flame, sparks, or high heat.
Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, foam, dry chemical powder, or carbon dioxide (CO₂). Alcohol-resistant foam is recommended for large fires.
Fire Response: For small fires, use an appropriate extinguisher. For larger fires, evacuate areas. Cool exposed containers with water spray to prevent rupture. Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective gear.
Storage during fire: Move containers away from fire if safe to do so. Avoid allowing runoff from fire control to enter drains or watercourses.
