Hygiene - Wash Hands

Frequent and correct hand washing in the catering and hotel industry is the first and most important approach to avoid cross-contamination and to protect yourself and guests. You should always wash your hands after the following activities: 

• visiting the toilet returning to the kitchen and preparation areas when they have been vacated

• taking out rubbish 

• working with cleaning products

• eating, drinking, smoking and chewing gum or tobacco

• working with raw meat, poultry or fish touching one's own body or clothing

• sneezing, coughing or using a handkerchief

• contact with money before and after wearing gloves

ATTENTION: wearing gloves does not exempt you from washing your hands!
