The Hand Hygiene for Food Workers Training course will help the learner be aware to not overlook the importance or to ignore the act of thoroughly cleaning their hands. The course covers what to expect if a hand hygiene act fails to be established which is often down to a lack of understanding of the whole procedure.

Our Hands are used in nearly all cases of an object and human interaction, from passing a pen to a friend or making a quick sandwich, whilst carrying up to a million bacterial organisms, enough to improve current poor hygiene practices you’d think. As well as making a home on the hands' bacteria can be found in rings or watches, seeking shelter in the grooves or any part of the object they find, where it can be moist.

With the ease of how bacteria are carried, transferred and harboured with our hands the importance of good hand hygiene for food workers is imperative.
