Helping you back from Covid-19 to Safe Hydration

Hydration

Water dispensers have integrated into all aspects of our working and home life from offices to workshops and construction sites to schools and hospitals. Today employers do not only provide water dispensers as a means of fulfilling their legal duty to provide drinking water in the workplace, but they recognise the benefits derived from good hydration in the productivity and wellbeing of their staff.

Re-introducing workplace hydration post-Covid-19

The Government has identified the importance of remaining hydrated; it is essential to the well-being of the workforce, helping to keep the immune system strong.

Using a water dispenser is a simple and easy way to provide safe and hygienic hydration with minimal personal contact.

See the WHA Customer Factsheet: Safely re-introducing workplace hydration.

Safety is paramount and water dispensers should be incorporated into regular cleaning and disinfecting regimes.
