With the relaxation of Lockdown in districts of Karnataka, Administrative Offices of South Western Railway including Railway Workshop in Hubballi – Dharwad District have started working with 33% staff from 04.05.2020.
To provide proper sanitation of hands without having contact with the container, electrical branch of Carriage Repair Workshop, Hubballi has come up with an innovative contactless hand sanitizer dispenser which can help in cleaning hands and prevention of the spread of the Covid-19 virus.
This contactless sanitizer dispenser is of 2.5 liters quantity which works with an Infra Red Sensor. This Infra Red proximity sensor works with a miniature pump. The cost of this non contact sanitizer dispenser is approx Rs.750/-. The cost in the open market is about 4 times the cost manufactured in-house.
Work areas will not be the same post current COVID-19 pandemic. People will prefer a lifestyle with minimum human touch and will feel safe in the protected environment. Railway Workshop has taken this initiative so that its workers are safe and prevention is the only alternative till vaccine is developed for the COVID virus.
