Abstract:

A method of modifying behavior is disclosed which can be implemented by one or more behavior mechanisms in order to modify behavior of target subjects, for example, in industries, such as the health care and food industries, in which sanitation of the target subject is essential in order to promote healthier and more sanitary working environments. In accordance with the present invention, various behavior modification mechanisms are provided for modifying behavior of target subjects with respect to sanitation to promote a healthier and safer environment for both the target subject and those in contact with the target subject and the target environment. These behavior modification mechanisms are useful in various industries including the health care and food industries. These behavior modification mechanisms may include devices as well as iconography, configured to promote behavior modification with respect to sanitation. The devices may include portable devices, such as, a wearable antibacterial gel and/or towelette dispenser and a medical caddy formed from an antibacterial material for environmentally safe transport of materials, which optionally carries an antibacterial gel and/or towelette dispenser and stationary devices, such as, a wall or table mounted dispenser for dispensing antibacterial gel and/or towelettes and a wall or table mounted antibacterial gel filling station for filling portable devices. The behavior modification mechanisms may also include a device for puncturing plastic wrap used for food seals.
