Food safety coaching (Part 1): Handwashing

How to wash your hands properly, to help stop bacteria from spreading.

I LOVE that you actually suggest using the towel to turn the tap off. Same applies for door handles after using the toilet.
I HATE that hand towels are dissapearing in all the public toilets now in favour of "hand dryers". I guarantee, at least one persons life is ended prematurely because there was not paper hand towel in the bathroom.

Who cares about the water being wasted. This is actually the correct way, but they missed the part of washing your wrists. This is actually very important and usually missed when teaching employees.

too much of water wasted .. close the tap before start cleaning your hand, effective and optimum utilization of water is recommended ... 

[HoseMariaRamon]

Well I'm afraid that's just too much water wasted! I'm really concerned about this issue.

I work in a kitchen where our kitchen manager washes her dirty hands in the sanitizer sink of our 3 compartment sink. We have a hand station but the triple sink is closer to her. She touches raw chicken, egg, fish. I have said that a sanitation sink should be sanitary and her response is the sanitizer kills the germs. We also sanitize our pots and pans in the same water. Is this not disgusting? Im currently trying to get her fired

[TheFGTreehouse]

do this a couple of times in a restaurant and you're fired because you're too slow :shrugs:

I work in a kitchen. I wash my hands frequently and wear gloves. My co workers do not wash their hands or wear gloves. The owner never washes his hands neither so I can’t goto him about my concerns. I feel like there is a level of disdain from my co workers bcuz I take sanitation very seriously especially when handling people’s food. Some people even touch money and then touch people’s food. They are some nasty people that I wish I didn’t have to work around but I need the money so I have to bear with it. It’s tough.

Woah! M8 calm down with that sneeze 0:18!

[Christian.]

hey she didn't wash her wrists you need to do

[tristankrieger]

My mans just could've at least wiped his hands on his jacket or something but nah, that slime was destined for the lasagna..

[ENFR]

I would even add to rinse the tap head. I mean you touched it with contaminated hands, to close it off with a paper towel is not enough is it.

[brynhard]

First of all the water is wasted but I have a question in our college washing hands include any skin showing on your hand like elbow and beyond.

[Sam-neqq]

the running wasted water is kinda triggering

[shettyKSGS]

The best we need to follow... Hand wash

[popplague]

Did anyone else recognize that the dude changed races?

[chocolate_cake]

Wasting so much water ... is that acceptable from a government agency that promotes best practices?

[FrogSpatula]

Good thing they're not in a drought, god damn

[GustavoSanchez-nm]

In these times running the water like that your a big fk up to this world

[Yolandamaria]

Wash, wash and wash. Keep bacteria at bay!

Always remember to not be excessive in whatever it is you do.
Too much washing can waste too much water, and I don't even need to explain this issue,
Also too much soap can cause irritation to your skin.
Obviously not washing enough leads to infection.
So just be balanced. This is coming from a medical student.
