Hygiene compliance monitor for a dispensing container

A hygiene compliance monitor for attachment to a dispensing container having a dispensing nozzle that moves relative to a collar attached to the dispensing container, such that the dispensing nozzle dispenses material when actuated, the hygiene compliance monitor comprises:

• a housing;
• a first flexible section, said first flexible section being terminated at each end by an attachment clip, wherein one said clip is adapted to be attached to the dispensing nozzle, and the other said clip is adapted to be attached to the collar of the dispensing container;
• a second flexible section extending from said first flexible section to a first end that is attached to said housing;
• a token carried by said first flexible section;
• a sensor coupled to said controller, said sensor configured to detect said token, and said sensor carried by said first flexible section, such that said sensor detects the presence and non-presence of said token as said dispensing nozzle is actuated;
• a controller carried by said housing, said controller configured to maintain a count value;
• and
• a display coupled to said controller, said display configured to display said count value;
• wherein when the dispensing nozzle is actuated to dispense mater from the dispensing container, said controller updates said count value based on the detection of the presence or non-presence of said token.
