Abstract: The present invention relates to hardware, systems and software methods to insure compliance of personnel in jobs where sanitized hands are dependent on washing according to time intervals. The system includes a hand-hygiene station, a sanitizing dispensing device, a computer and a communication channel. A wearable vibration and visual alert device communicates, illuminates and vibrates dependent on timing between hand washing utilizing sensors positioned both adjacent to a hand washing station and installed in un-sanitized areas. Each of the plurality of sensors may be configured to provide a corresponding sensor output signal that is indicative of whether a person has washed their hands at a hand washing station.
