A busy cook wants to use a hand antiseptic (hand sanitizer) instead of washing hands. When is this acceptable?

Hand antiseptics may be used only after hands are properly washed and dried; they supplement but never replace handwashing, because sanitizer does not remove soil and is less effective on soiled hands or against some pathogens like Norovirus. Substituting gel after the restroom is a serious violation no matter how busy the line is or how far the sink sits. Hands that look and feel clean can still carry pathogens, and gel is weaker than soap and water precisely where it matters most, on hands carrying fecal contamination.
