HAND HYGIENE
A system, method, and apparatus for preventing one with dirty hands from entering or exiting an area without first using a hand washing system. Typical uses would be in hospitals, where patients are endangered by health care workers who may propagate microorganisms and thus illness from patient to patient. The subject technology seeks to stop one from passing by having a barrier block passage. Overrides for bypass system on an emergency basis or when hands are otherwise necessarily occupied, such as in carrying a tray or other objects. Sensors detect presence of obstructions in the movement of the barrier. Further, the barrier may be broken should an emergency arise. Current implementation presumes that one's hands are dirty, and thus entry or exit is initially denied. Once hand washing has occurred, then entry or exit is allowed.
