Footbath
Location
Solid Surface (Concrete)
Close to the point of entry
Less clean >>>>> Dipping Clean
It may prove useful to have a tap and
brushes nearby so that boots can be
washed off before using the footbath.
Footbath
Location
The area around the footbath should be
disinfected at appropriate intervals to reduce the
risk of disease transmission.
Footbath
Design
- Long enough to walk through it.
(Not to jump or stride over it)
- Easy drainage and cleaning.
- Depth: at least 10 cm.
- Should be protected from weather.
Footbath
Use
footbath is not designed as a footwear
washing point!
Boots should first be cleaned and then
disinfected.
Use smooth sole footwear (boots).
