water, paper towels, and new technology. One employee identified elements that would make proper handwashing easier
as including "warm water, making sure that the area's been
stocked with soap ... [and] towels." Employees mentioned that
specific aspects of technology, such as automatic faucets, foot
pedals, powerful air dryers, and timers, would be facilitators of
proper handwashing. For example, one employee stated, "automatic washers or pedals and air dryers would be nice."

which referred to the number of handwashing sinks available
