11/11/2009  -  Bunzl Distribution Helps Businesses and Organizations Prepare for Flu Season with DuPont™ Biosecurity Kits

Bunzl Distribution is helping businesses and organizations prepare for flu season by making DuPont™ RelyOn™ Biosecurity Kits available for purchase at all 85 locations throughout North America. The kit is designed to help minimize disease transmission in the event of a pandemic flu outbreak.

The DuPont™ Personal Biosecurity Kit contains a two-week supply of products that comply with EPA and FDA requirements, including:

  • DuPont™ RelyOn™ Antiseptic Hand Spray
  • DuPont™ RelyOn™ Multi-Purpose Disinfectant Cleaner
  • a digital thermometer
  • 30 surgical masks
  • two pair of nitrile gloves
  • a travel bag, and
  • a user guide.

While the kit is designed to reduce exposure to a wide range of human pathogens, it is not a substitute for good hygiene and avoiding personal contact when appropriate.

Pat Larmon, President and CEO, Bunzl Distribution, said, “Large organizations, such as supermarket and non-food retail chains, should consider including biosecurity practices in their business continuity plans. Having DuPont Personal Biosecurity Kits on hand will allow for a quick response in the event of a flu outbreak to help maintain business operations and raise the level of hygiene in the workplace.”

He added, “We are stocking kits for our employees because we want to give them the ability to take action and reduce their risk if a flu outbreak occurs.”
