properties, asbestos fibres in these buildings often can\u2019t easily be removed, so the prevailing strategy is to simply not touch it.\u00a0 If asbestos-containing walls and floors are kept intact, fibres can\u2019t be released into the air where they can be breathed in.<\/p>\n<p>This is a challenge in facilities that want to promote hand hygiene.\u00a0 Wall-mounted dispensers <a

\u00a0In short: walls need regular painting, cleaning and other maintenance, and you can\u2019t easily remove and replace a dispenser without leaving anchor holes or worse.<\/p>\n<p>Our stations all help mitigate wall and floor damage.<\/p>\n<p>Our Tagg Clean-Hands\u00ae Wall Sanitizing Stations are designed to do this by mounting to the wall using their substantial steel bracket.\u00a0 Once installed, it stays there permanently.\u00a0 The station\u2019s durable face plate with the dispenser on it is securely attached with a safety screw to allow removal when time comes to refresh walls or change up dispensers, and is simply placed back on once this is completed.<\/p>\n<p>This is just one other reason to try the Tagg Clean-Hands\u00ae approach \u2013 practical design helps in ways you might not have even thought of!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Old buildings such as those owned by the Government of Canada are often a source of beauty and local history,
