•Proper hand washing
Thorough hand washing only takes about twenty seconds. To ensure proper hand washing in my establishment, train my food handlers to follow these five steps.
o Wet your hands and arms with running water as hot as you can comfortably stand
(at least 100 F)
o Apply soap
o Vigorously scrub hands and arms for ten to fifteen seconds. Clean under fingernails
and between fingers.
o Rinse hands and arms thoroughly under running water
o Dry hands and arms with a single-use paper towel or hand dryer. When leaving the
restroom, consider using a paper towel to turn off the faucet and to open the door.
