Alcohol-based hand rubs (ABHR) are available as rinses, gels and foams. There is limited data available regarding the relative efficacy of various formulations. The use of foams rather than gels or rinses may reduce the risk of ingestion of the product. If ingestion of ABHR is a concern, consider putting wall mounted, lockable units in visible locations. The use of an ABHR containing additives such as Bitrex assists by making the alcohol unpalatable.
