Did you know money has been found to contain multiple deadly germs? Regardless of whether it is notes, coins or bank cards, all have the ability to severely affect someone's health. Although the popularity of cards is rising, the threat of contaminated money is still very high. There are a variety of jobs where physically handling cash is required, however, it is banks that are perhaps the most at risk. The best way to contain the spread of harmful bacteria is to regularly wash or sanitise your hands. The main way for germs to transfer is through touch, therefore the importance of properly cleaning your hands is essential. Once money has been touched, the same hands will often touch other surfaces before reaching for hand soap and warm water. It is vital that banks implement an intense and regular cleaning schedule to stop dangerous diseases from spreading further than necessary. Pay particular attention to surfaces where hands would be used before washing hands e.g. door handles, keyboard, mouse, tap handles, soap dispenser pump, hand dryer button etc.
