Effective design of handwashing and drying facilities: Enhancing hygiene standards in public spaces

Effective hygiene management in public spaces is crucial to preventing the spread of communicable diseases, with public bathrooms posing a particularly high risk due to airborne contaminants and frequently touched surfaces. The constant use of these facilities requires advanced design and maintenance strategies to reduce health risks.

Effective Design of Handwashing and Drying Facilities: Enhancing Hygiene Standards in Public Spaces discusses the key hygiene risks in public bathrooms and design strategies to eliminate or minimise them. A focal point for this paper is the importance of hand hygiene and the design of handwashing and hand-drying stations. Architects and designers must prioritise advanced drying technologies and optimal spatial designs to minimise exposure and cross-contamination, thereby enhancing overall public health outcomes.
