Virtual / Live

About

Drs. Don Schaffner and Jim Arbogast will highlight the most relevant published hand washing evidence since 2019. Findings presented at the October 2024 Infectious Diseases Society of America conference will be reviewed in depth. This study directly compared a 20 second soap-water hand wash to two alcohol-based protocols, using the ASTM E2784 Standard Test Method to measure effectiveness. Both pathogen removal and food transfer rates were measured. Learn the latest in hand washing protocols and applications for food preparation at temporary venues and emergency situations with limited water availability.
