Non-inferiority in terms of reduction of bacterial counts will be investigated when combining the simpler three-step hand hygiene technique for the use of hand rub with a shorter application time of 15 seconds compared to the to the three steps technique with an application time of 30 seconds and the technique consisting in six steps.
