Answer:
To prevent food poisoning using good personal hygiene, follow these tips:
wash and dry your hands thoroughly before handling food, and wash and dry them again frequently during work
dry your hands with a clean towel, disposable paper towel or under an air dryer
never smoke, chew gum, spit, change a baby’s nappy or eat in a food handling or food storage area
never cough or sneeze over food, or where food is being prepared or stored
wear clean protective clothing, such as an apron
keep your spare clothes and other personal items (including mobile phones) away from where food is stored and prepared
tie back or cover long hair
keep fingernails short so they are easy to clean, and don’t wear nail polish because it can chip into the food
avoid wearing jewellery, or only wear plain-banded rings and sleeper earrings
completely cover all cuts and wounds with a wound strip or bandage (brightly coloured waterproof bandages are recommended)
wear disposable gloves over the top of the wound strip if you have wounds on your hands
change disposable gloves regularly
advise your supervisor if you feel unwell, and don’t handle food.
