PERSONAL HYGIENE

Personal hygiene is an essential part of our daily life, consisting of several types of
routines aimed at enhancing overall well-being and maintaining cleanliness. It entails
taking care of our bodies, surroundings, and everyday behaviors in order to keep
hazardous germs, bacteria, and viruses at bay. Understanding the meaning and
importance of personal cleanliness can lead to a healthier and more meaningful
existence. We will look at the purpose and advantages of personal hygiene, as well
as different types of personal hygiene and the consequences of ignoring this important
component of self-care.

Personal hygiene signifies behaviors that help prevent the spread of infectious
diseases and maintain an individual's physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It
consists of a variety of daily activities such as hand washing, bathing, oral care, hair
care, nail grooming, and wearing clean clothes. We may protect others and ourselves
from illness by following basic personal hygiene routines, resulting in a safer and
healthier environment for everyone.

To prevent food contamination, food service employees must wear clean shirts,
skirts, and pants and wear caps or other appropriate hair restrictions. Staff
members are responsible for ensuring that their attire and shoes are appropriate for
the task, clean, free of rips or holes, and in good shape.

Staff members must provide their own shoes and hair restraints; hair must be confined
when it is longer than shoulder length. Employees must wear solid, low-heeled shoes
to avoid slips, falls, trips, burns, and wounds. Shoes must have a closed toe, be
properly fitted, be attached to the foot (no flip-flops), and have non-slip soles. Wear
only a basic wedding ring, medical bracelet, or plain watch band on your fingers and
forearms. Jewelry can conceal food particles and viruses that can make people sick..
Each day, all Food Service employees should wear a clean apron while preparing
food. When exiting the kitchen, aprons should always be removed. Make sure to scrub
beneath your fingernails. Maintain short fingernails. When using fingernail polish or
false fingernails, employees must wear gloves. Employees must eat, drink, and use
cigarettes only in authorized places.

Employees may consume beverages from clean, unopened containers with a handle
or straw. The container must be kept apart from food, utensils, and equipment. Before
returning to the kitchen, wash your hands twice after using the restroom, eating,
blowing your nose, and taking a smoking break.
