Have you made a decision to increase the use and availability of alcohol-based hand sanitizer at the hospital, school, business or other location where you work? If so, it's time to rethink that decision.
Why? Because the Office of the State Fire Marshal in Michigan recently issued a bulletin that limits where alcohol-based hand sanitizer dispensers can be placed because of liability and risk management concerns about the product’s flammability.
Has anyone acted on the guidance in that bulletin? Yes.
Officials at the University of Michigan placed tight new restrictions on the installation of dispensers containing alcohol-based hand sanitizer, according to an
Aug. 20 memo distributed throughout the university's campuses.
The new guidelines were, according to the memo, issued jointly by the university’s Office of Emergency Preparedness, the chief health officer, Operational Safety and Community Health, Fire Safety Services and the Office of Risk Management.
In the same memo, university officials recommended procurement officials purchase hand sanitizer dispensers containing benzalkonium chloride (BZK) instead of alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Though they didn’t recommend it by name, they basically directed their purchasing officials to purchase
Alcohol-Free Foam Hand Sanitizer, the most-effective BZK-based formula available, in wall-mounted dispensers.
