Is it safe to use shared water fountains and water dispensers at this time?

There is a risk of contracting coronavirus from shared water dispensers via cross contamination. Good hygiene practices need to be followed at all time in communal rest facilities. You should never allow your mouth to come into contact with the dispensing tap of a water fountain, so in this current pandemic we are requesting all units cordon off the use of these drinking fountain facilities.

We encourage all employees to stay hydrated and advise they purchase or bring in from home enough bottled water/drinks to last the length of their delivery rather than refilling at work.
If you do refill a bottle at work the neck of the bottle must not touch the dispenser or tap. Sanitising wipes must be used to wipe the bottle and dispenser or tap if that happens.
