I manage a charity's office and I have been asked to arrange to have a hand drier installed in the loo. Obviously I will get an electrician to do this but I wonder if the great and the good here have any advice about what to avoid or what to choose.
And are their any restriction on how such a drier is wired in?
AdrianWint:
As an aside…. all the hand-driers at work have been disabled for “COVID related reasons” (fear of the water droplets being turned into an aerosol mist & passing on a infection).
What is the learned Forums view on this objection to hand driers? Possible fact or COVID myth?
The Centre for Disease Control states that the important things are hand-washing followed by thorough drying of hands.
They say that either paper towels or hot air dryers are acceptable, but advise that dryers should not need touching to turn them on. They also suggest that hot air dryers are more likely to result in dry hands than paper towels.
Regards,
Alan.
