How do I refill the alcohol hand gel dispenser? What if the dispenser is empty or broken?
Fortunately, each unit has an ample supply of dispensers, so you should still be able to perform hand hygiene with another dispenser nearby. But, we also want to make sure that the dispensers stay filled. As a part of routine room cleaning, Environmental Services will check the status of gel for each room and replace those that are empty. But we must all be responsible for making sure an empty dispenser is addressed. Each unit has supplies to refill the gel dispensers. If you find a dispenser that is empty, please notify the patients nurse or the unit charge nurse, who should restock the dispenser. If you find a broken dispenser, please notify the unit charge nurse. The charge nurse should record the details of the broken dispenser into the units maintenance log. Plant services will replace the broken dispenser promptly.
