Hand hygiene in focus at LuLu Hypermarket campaign
Hand hygiene has been underlined as one of the most important measures to safeguard oneself from various infections.
To encourage and promote hand hygiene among citizens and residents of Qatar, LuLu Hypermarket has launched a mega campaign across all its stores in the country under the banner “Your Health is in Your Hands.”
The initiative that seeks to engage customers, staff, and the wider community has been introduced “in light of the fact that the risk factors for the increased infection and transmission of diseases are mainly associated with hand hygiene.”
As part of the campaign, special attention will be given to cleaning all shared surfaces and touchpoints including shopping trolley handles, baskets, handrails of travellators and lifts as well as restrooms.
The campaign endeavors to minimize the risk of illnesses spreading from person to person via the touch of hands as they may come into contact with infected surfaces.
LuLu has also implemented a strict hand hygiene protocol across all its sections where raw meat and food items are handled, in particular the butchery, fish counter, hot kitchen, and bakery sections.
Sreekanth, Chief Hygiene Officer at Lulu Hypermarkets, quoted WHO that “Inculcating the habit of adopting simple-to-follow measures on personal hygiene such as washing hands the right way at the right time with soap and water could help a person prevent himself effectively from the infection of a wide variety of germs that cause infectious diseases like flu, E.coli, norovirus, and cold-causing inflammation of nose and throat, etc. to a great extent.”
LuLu also said it has been closely monitoring the temperatures of all its staff and merchandisers as they arrive at and leave from work.
All employees are also required to undergo regular hygiene training sessions, LuLu highlighted.
