2. Clean hands and effective hand washing is critical to fighting cross-contamination and the spread of pathogens in the food processing environment.  

3. [Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 21, Volume 2] [Revised as of April 1, 2012] [CITE: 21CFR110.10] TITLE 21--FOOD AND DRUGS CHAPTER I--FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES SUBCHAPTER B--FOOD FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION PART CURRENT GOOD MANUFACTURING PRACTICE IN MANUFACTURING, PACKING, OR HOLDING HUMAN FOOD Subpart A--General Provisions Sec Personnel.
(3) Washing hands thoroughly (and sanitizing if necessary to protect against contamination with undesirable microorganisms) in an adequate hand-washing facility before starting work, after each absence from the work station, and at any other time when the hands may have become soiled or contaminated.

4. So Simple… Yet So Important
Keeping hands clean is one of the most important ways to prevent the spread of infection and illness.

5. Visit www.cdc.gov for informative videos and content on hand hygiene.

6. Both the CDC and the FDA recommend hand sanitizers as an important addition to a hand washing regiment, but never an alternative.

7. In fact, hand sanitizers are not effective when hands are visibly dirty.

8. However, when used in conjunction with proper hand washing, hand sanitizers provide the highest level of germ kill.

9. Hand Washing Demo
Use hand washing posters to illustrate six steps in proper hand washing.
Wash for 30 seconds or sing the Happy Birthday Song twice
Use an E2 rated sanitizing soap (made from food grade ingredients with no dyes or fragrances) to prevent adulteration of the product and for increased pathogen reduction.
Provide hand towels and touchless faucets.

10. The Importance of Washing and Sanitizing
The Varying Effects Of Hand Washing
The effects of hand washing can be seen through the experiment above. Each handprint was taken at various stages of antisepsis, showing the dramatic differences of bacterial growth between clean and unwashed hands.

12. Hand Sanitizing Demo
Use the hand sanitizing posters to illustrate the three steps in proper hand sanitizing.
Demonstrate the ‘palms up, fingers in’ method which allows for the nail beds and cuticles (where most germs hide) to be fully saturated. Then rub hands together and let dry.
Not fully saturating your hands is like sweeping a floor, but missing all the corners and under the tables.
See graphics of Missed Areas and photos of hands and spray.

13. The Bottom Line
This graphic shows the areas most often missed with simple hand washing.
