The British Water Cooler Association (BWCA) has published revised guidelines covering ‘essential safety aspects’ on workplace use of water coolers.
‘Essential Care of Your Water Cooler’ provides ‘do’ and ‘don’t’ instructions on safe, hygienic use of mains-fed and bottled water coolers, while ‘Manual Handling Guidelines’ offers ‘valuable reminders about the law of lifting heavy weights’. Of ‘Sanitisation of your water cooler’, the BWCA said: “Research shows regular cooler sanitisation is important in maintaining optimum dispensed water quality.” The free Guides can be requested by emailing: info@bwca.org.uk
