- employees must not smoke in the kitchen area
This will keep their hands away from their mouth and will also prevent ashes and butts from
getting into the food. As well, employees should not chew gum in the kitchen area as this
will spray micro-organisms onto the food.
- food handlers must wear headgear that confines the hair
Hair nets, chef's hats and baseball caps are acceptable headgear. The hair must be confined
to prevent hair from falling into the food and to stop food handlers from touching their hair
to move it out of their face. Hair has also been known to cross-contaminate food.
- food handlers must wear clean clothing and change aprons as often as necessary
Do not wear uniforms outside of the establishment. Always change and hang clothes in the
change room, never in the kitchen or food storage areas.
- food handlers are not to handle food if they are ill with diarrhea, coughing or sneezing
- food handlers must not handle food if they have open cuts on their hands or are wearing band-aids.
- food handlers must have trimmed nails and wear no jewellery when preparing food
- food handlers must be aware of their bad habits such as biting nails, touching their face especially around the mouth, nose and eyes
