Abstract

A hand washing and rinsing unit which operates automatically without the need for the user to touch any part of the unit. When the user's hands are inserted into a wash basin (12), a proximity switch (30) actuates the system to switch on a supply of water through a supply line (18). After a predetermined time interval such as 5 to 8 seconds, a metered quantity of liquid soap from a supply (28) is dispensed onto the user's hands, and the supply of water continues to enable the soap to be washed off. The system incorporates an electronic monitoring system to record each use, this being triggered only when soap has been dispensed, so that it is not possible to have a wash recorded merely by wetting the hands for a few seconds.
