Hand sanitation compliance enforcement systems and methods

A non-transitory storage medium storing instructions for performing a hand hygiene compliance enforcement, instructions being readable and executable by an electronic processor, wherein the instructions, when executed by the electronic processor, cause the electronic processor to:

• receive real time video acquired by at least one video camera in real time;
• analyze the real time video to determine an occupancy time interval over which a sanitation zone imaged by the real time video is occupied;
• determine whether a hand sanitation event occurs based on images of a wash station zone as extracted from the real time video acquired during the occupancy time interval;
• and
• control at least one annunciator to annunciate a hand hygiene compliance status based on the determination of whether a hand sanitation event occurs.

A hand hygiene compliance enforcement method comprising:

• acquiring, via a at least one video camera, real time video of a field of view that includes a sanitation station having a wash station zone;
• determining, via an electronic processor, whether a hand sanitation event occurs based on images of the wash station zone as extracted from the real time video;
• and
• annunciating, via an annunciator, a compliance status based on the determination of whether a hand sanitation event occurs.

A hand hygiene compliance enforcement device comprising:

• at least one non-camera-based sensor;
• at least one annunciator;
• an electronic processor;
• and
• a non-transitory storage medium storing instructions that are readable and executable by the electronic processor, wherein the instructions, when executed by the electronic processor, cause the electronic processor to:
• process real time data output of the non-camera-based sensor in real time,
• analyze, by execution of occupancy detection instructions, the data output to determine an occupancy time interval over which a sanitation zone determined by the data output is occupied,
• determine, by execution of sanitation detection instructions, whether a hand sanitation event occurs based on the data output corresponding to a wash station zone, the data output acquired during the occupancy time interval, and
• control the at least one annunciator to annunciate a hand hygiene compliance status based on the hand sanitation event.
