Tork® Solutions Help Manufacturers Secure the New Hygiene Standard

While manufacturers strive to keep their employees safe and to optimise output at reconfigured manufacturing sites, good workplace hygiene has become mission critical as they strive to maintain compliance and efficiency. From hand washing best practice to surface cleaning, a consistent hygiene protocol has been proven to help slow the spread of viruses and diseases, and it plays a critical role in securing hygiene standards and continued productivity.

Health and hygiene company Essity, the global manufacturer of Tork professional hygiene products, offers a comprehensive set of hygiene solutions designed to help manufacturing sites achieve hygiene compliance, while optimising production efficiency at reconfigured sites. This includes the Tork PeakServe® hand towel system; a range of surface cleaning solutions and sanitiser systems which provide a comprehensive solution for facilities to meet elevated hygiene protocols.



“To maintain the health and safety of employees and ensure efficiency, hygiene compliance must continue to be top of mind for manufacturers,” says Jenny Turner, Marketing Director, Essity, Professional Hygiene. “The Tork set of hygiene solutions offers mission-critical products and resources to address both the hygiene and productivity needs of facilities that play a critical role in upholding this new standard. By selecting the right solution and paying attention to correct placement, improvements in efficiency can be achieved without compromising hygiene practices.”

Without consistent availability of hand towels, employees cannot practice correct hand hygiene. Hand drying is a very important part of handwashing and should leave the hands thoroughly dried and hygienic. It is highly recommended to use hand towels that not only absorb water, but also use manual effects to remove bacteria and viruses. That is why the use of disposable paper hand towels is generally considered the most hygienic and efficient drying method when washing hands in manufacturing facilities. The newly expanded line of Tork PeakServe dispensers leverages revolutionary continuous towel technology and compressed refills, delivering a constant supply of towels readily available to practice thorough hand hygiene without disruptions.

There have also been discussions regarding the safe use of dispensers and paper in washrooms, and the risk of potential self-infection by touching contaminated surfaces or materials. Hygienically designed dispensers for paper hand towels should be easy to clean and fill, and dispenser design should allow the user to take the paper product without touching the dispenser itself. Bearing in mind that the length of time spent in public washrooms should be limited, intuitive systems with high-speed delivery of paper towels are recommended. The extended PeakServe line offers a range of solutions to accommodate the footprint of any high-traffic area. This means increased availability to support hygiene compliance, fewer restroom or locker-room delays, and less waste (thanks to one-at-a-time-dispensing). No matter your site’s size, there is a Tork PeakServe solution for your operations.

In addition to handwashing, proper hygiene on manufacturing sites requires thorough surface cleaning to mitigate any cross-contamination that can be spread through high-touch surfaces. The durable line of Tork Performance® dispensers feature flexible mounting options, so manufacturers can place supplies where they are most needed throughout their facility. Dedicated hygiene stations can create healthy habits for staff – especially when strategically placed throughout a site. Tork hand sanitiser dispensers help maintain hygiene compliance, while Tork resources, such as the Tork Dispenser Placement Guide, can educate teams on how to place these dispensers throughout your workspace to optimise usage and mitigate the spread of viruses, germs and bacteria.
