Get Winter Ready

Stay at your best during the winter season

With the right products and routines in place, you can help protect your people throughout the winter months.

Help stop the spread this cold & flu season

Hands come into contact with countless shared surfaces throughout the working day, making good hand hygiene an important part of helping to reduce the spread of germs.

Regular, effective hand washing with soap helps physically remove germs from the hands, while hand sanitiser provides a convenient hygiene solution when soap and running water aren't readily available.

Make hand hygiene easy and accessible by providing the right products, in the right places, at the right time.

CLEANSE – Encourage regular and effective hand washing with quality foam soap.

  • SANITISE – Provide hand sanitiser at key locations throughout your facility to support hand hygiene when people are on the go.

  • Protect your skin

    Give hardworking hands extra care this winter

    Cold temperatures, low humidity and winter winds can increase moisture loss from the skin, leaving hands more vulnerable to dryness and discomfort. For people who work with their hands every day, maintaining good skin condition is especially important.

    A simple protect and restore routine can help keep hands feeling cared for throughout winter.


    PROTECT – Apply a skin protection cream before work and throughout the working day to help support the skin against workplace contaminants and working conditions.

  • RESTORE – Use a restore cream after washing, during extended breaks and at the end of the working day to moisturise and help maintain the skin's natural barrier.
