Personal HygieneQuestion 372 of 500
A new employee reaches into the glove box to start building sandwiches right after clocking in. What step is he skipping?
a.Recording the cooler temperature on the daily log first
b.Washing his hands before donning gloves for a food task
c.Checking the sanitizer concentration at the wiping bucket
d.Setting out a fresh pan of ice for the sandwich station
Explanation
Food employees must clean their hands before donning gloves to start a task that involves working with food. A glove pulled over dirty hands transfers contamination to the outside of the glove as it is stretched on, which is why gloves are an addition to handwashing rather than a replacement for it.
