HAND DRYER COVERS

Out-of-order hand dryers should be blocked off in a commercial facility for several reasons:

1. Safety: An out-of-order hand dryer may be hazardous if it is not properly blocked off. People may try to use it and could potentially be injured if it is not functioning properly. Covering or blocking off the hand dryer helps prevent accidents and injuries.
2. Hygiene: Hand dryers that are out of order may not be cleaned or maintained regularly, and can become a breeding ground for bacteria and germs. Covering or blocking off the hand dryer can help prevent the spread of illness-causing microorganisms.
3. Convenience: When a hand dryer is out of order, people may try to use it and become frustrated when they are unable to dry their hands. Covering or blocking off the hand dryer can help avoid confusion and frustration.
4. Aesthetics: An out-of-order hand dryer can detract from the overall appearance and cleanliness of the restroom. Covering or blocking off the hand dryer can help maintain a professional and tidy appearance.

Overall, blocking off out-of-order hand dryers in a commercial facility is a simple and effective way to promote safety, hygiene, convenience, and aesthetics in public restrooms. It can also help to ensure that people are directed to functioning hand dryers or other hand-drying options in the facility.
