ASKIN Services is designing a new product that will provides managers with a quick, easy, and affordable method to effectively monitor hand washing. Proper hand washing is the most effective preventative measure available to combat communicable diseases.
Improper hand washing contributes to more than 13,000 deaths in Ghana each year through the transfer of communicable diseases in restaurants, schools, home and hospitals (more than AIDS and breast cancer combined). Studies have shown that proper hand washing procedures in these environments could cut down the spread of disease by up to 75%. The greatest contributing factor to this problem stems from the inability of supervisors to monitor and control employee hand washing. Existing products offer no effective or affordable solutions for enforcing and ensuring hand washing compliance. Treatment of preventable diseases costs Ghana huge sums each year.
ASKIN Services is the first producer that answers this problem and provides indisputable proof every time a person washes his or her hands. Our product contains antimicrobial contents that makes people who uses our soap become comfortable and safe from bacterial and contamination. This would allow users to conclusively verify at a glance whether hand washing has taken place. No other product on the market offers such a high level of assurance of sanitation compliance. The product is safe and meets all current FDA regulatory requirements for soap.
THE MARKET
Although restaurants and hospitals have tremendous market need for a product such as ours, day cares represent the best opportunity for our initial target market. Day cares are an ideal market because they have a vested interest in reducing disease transfer among children and have adamant support from their clients [parents] to create as clean an environment as possible. As stated by JOY News, "Most day care centers are sophisticated little germ factories, exchanging bacteria and viruses with the shake of a hand or the sharing of a toy and other learning materials. And many of those nasty bugs travel home where they can infect the rest of the family."
