Foot controlled valves would have made more sense than any thing. No hand contact with the valves or faucet.

Now *there's* an idea more hospitals should try.

Know anyone in the plumbing / sanitation business?

Or anyone on a hospital chain's risk management staff?

Cheers!

One of the factories I worked at many years ago had a large circular sink with a foot bar that went around under the sink in the restrooms. It was pretty cool and worked great. I was always surprised more places didn’t use them.

LOL I'm a retired medical facility Maintenance Mechanic. I was the plumber, Electrician, HVAC, Boiler Operator, you name it. No joke though things like Staph were a concern.
