5 Reasons Why Sanitary Bins Are Essential for Workplace Hygiene

Maintaining a clean and hygienic workplace is important for all businesses in Perth for both your employees and potential customers. One aspect of hygiene that is often overlooked is sanitary bin services. As a leading provider of hygiene services in Perth, Hygiene Concepts has compiled 5 reasons why a sanitary bin is essential for your business. 

1. Prevent the Spread of Disease

In workplaces, using regular bins in bathrooms poses a significant health risk. Unlike sanitary bins, regular bins lack secure lids and antibacterial features, leaving your employees and customers susceptible to infectious materials and bacteria in the air, especially in our warmer climate. By providing a sanitary bin solution, you can minimise the unnecessary spread of disease and demonstrate a commitment to workplace hygiene to your employees, further promoting a healthy workplace. 

2. Discreet and Hygienic Disposal

Sanitary bins provide a more discreet and hygienic solution to disposing of sanitary waste, ensuring that there are no unpleasant odours in your washrooms, and keeping the environment fresh and clean for future users. Our Hygiene Bin solutions are designed to offer convenience with a sleek design but also are designed to keep smells from escaping the sanitary bin thanks to the extra strong granules that destroy bacteria. Offering a sanitary bin for your employees also gives them the comfort of disposing of sanitary products in privacy. 

3. Prevent Blockages and Plumbing Issues

Failing to provide a sanitary bin for your customers or employees can contribute to plumbing issues due to sanitary waste being incorrectly disposed of in the toilet. This can be incredibly expensive for your business due to the unnecessary repair due to pipe damage and blockages. Providing a clear sanitary bin option prevents there ever being a plumbing issue due to sanitary waste, saving you money in the future. Not only does this help you, but more importantly, it helps protect Perth’s critical infrastructure

4. Increase Your Employee Comfort and Confidence 

By providing a clean hygiene solution in the form of sanitary bins, you demonstrate to your employees your business’ commitment to employee well-being and comfort. This can help to enhance your employee’s confidence and your overall team morale because employees see their needs as being considered and respected. Sanitary bins can also improve your employee’s mental health. 

5. Local Compliance

It is required as part of Safe Work Australia that all employees are provided a safe way to dispose of hygiene products in public, business and commercial establishments. While this doesn’t necessarily refer to sanitary bins, providing a solution to dispose of sanitary products would be considered a step in the right direction to fulfilling this requirement for your business, among other hygiene service solutions, including soap dispensers, sharps disposal and hand drying solutions.
