What is the WELL Hygiene Support Feature?

The WELL Hygiene Support Feature in WELL v2 Q1-Q2 2024 mandates that projects provide public and commercial washrooms designed to accommodate users with diverse needs while enhancing hygiene.

It emphasises the inclusion of spacious washbasins, ample commercial soap dispensers, hand drying options, and the reduction of touchpoints for a cleaner, hygienic, and more accessible environment.

How to ensure commercial soap dispensers are WELL compliant

When specifying a WELL compliant soap dispenser, it is important to meet the following four points in the WELL certification criteria:

  • Touch free soap dispensers must be provided.
  • Sealed soap dispensers equipped with disposable soap cartridges.
  • Commercial hand soap dispensers with detachable and closed containers for soap refill. Soap containers must be washed and disinfected when emptied, before refilling.
  • Signage displaying steps for proper hand washing.
