Inadequate sanitation and hygiene facilities at the workplace or at a Public Washroom can pose a serious threat with regards to acquired infection. A working female spends more than 50% of their lifetime at office & hence maintaining Hygiene Security at the Office Restroom becomes a very critical responsibility for All Administration leads.
