by Brianna Crandall — August 29, 2018 — GOJO, the maker of PURELL Hand Sanitizer products and other hygiene solutions used worldwide, and customized spill response kit provider OSHAKits.com have just introduced the PURELL Body Fluid Spill Kit, a complete, single-use solution designed to allow foodservice and custodial employees to quickly, easily and safely respond to accidents and spills involving bodily fluids.
Whether in a corporate, hospital or education cafeteria, restaurant or other commercial foodservice facility, one episode of vomit, blood or diarrhea spill can introduce pathogens that can threaten workers and patrons for weeks and even months to come — and bring unwanted negative publicity, points out OSHAKits.com. These spill response kits come in a wall-mountable case for easy access and offer “head-to-toe” coverage and easy-to-follow bilingual instructions to keep employees safe when seconds count.

According to Owen Griffin, business development manager, OSHAKits.com:
