Bacteria from the bowels find their
way onto the hands during
use of the toilet, and it is therefore
essential to wash the hands
properly afterwards. Food handlers
should keep their finger
nails short and clean, and wash
their hands before touching food.
Everyone should wash their hands
before eating a meal.
It is true that coughs and sneezes
spread diseases' and when
coughing or sneezing the mouth
and nose should be covered
with a clean handkerchief .
Cuts, scratches, pimples, boils,
etc. collect bacteria and should
always be covered with a waterproof
dressing. It is also good
practice for food handlers to wear
clean protective clothing to
cover both the body and the hair.
Such clothing should be washed
frequently.
*Note: Remember
that prevention is better than cure.
