Studies have shown the flu virus can remain infectious for up to:

• 48 hours on a non-porous surface
• 8 hours on a porous surface such as clothing or furniture
• 5 minutes on your hands

To combat the H1N1 virus, the CDC recommends keeping alcohol-based hand sanitizer gels and wipes available, as well as keeping all work surfaces clean and disinfected.

Consider every workplace area where germs can be spread by human touch:
Place a Hand Sanitizer Station or Hand Sanitizing Wipes near the store or branch lobby entrance for customers to use when entering and exiting. Sanitizing Stations with Touch Free Sanitizing Gel Dispensers are also convenient at the entrance to your teller line or at the point of sale.


Provide Instant Hand Sanitizer pump dispensers for each Cashier or Teller Station, office desk and in any location where transactions occur.


Sanitizing Hand Wipes in individually wrapped packages can be provided to customers in Drive-Up locations or included with every receipt after a purchase.
Disinfecting Wipes should be used daily and ideally at every shift change in these Germ Hot Spots:

• Phone
• Fax machine
• Cash register
• POS terminal
• Desk surface
• Computer keyboard/mouse
• Break room sink
• Microwave
• Door handles
