Low frequency of fires from alcohol-based hand rub dispensers in healthcare facilities.

John M Boyce1, Michele L Pearson.   

Abstract

We administered a web-based questionnaire to SHEA, APIC, and EIN members to assess the frequency of fires associated with alcohol-based hand rub (ABHR) dispensers in healthcare settings. None of the 798 responding facilities using ABHRs reported a dispenser-related fire; 766 facilities had accrued an estimated 1,430 hospital-years of ABHR use.
