ABSTRACT:
A monitoring system for health care workers or other workers where sanitary hand-washing is required, to detect the sanitary cleaning of hands upon entry and exit of a required or designated clean area includes a plurality of individual RFID devices located within the uniforms or employee ID badges assigned to each employee, a central monitoring network comprising a plurality of proximity sensors located at each room entry, the soap dispenser and the sink, the patient or object where sanitary handling is required, and a CPU. Each individual RFID device, when within the set range of each proximity sensor, sends a signal to the central monitoring device corresponding to the assigned employee, which in turn, relays the signal to the CPU in real time, for a time relative log of the employees activity to monitor whether the employee has washed their hands as required by law or policy.
