Personal Hygiene

Staff personal hygiene is incredibly important in maintaining a safe and clean environment, especially in food service and healthcare settings where cross-contamination can occur. Proper personal hygiene practices help prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses, reducing the risk of foodborne illnesses and infections among staff and customers/patients. It also promotes a positive image of professionalism and cleanliness in the workplace.

Approximately 5-10% of the population do not wash their hands regularly, which can lead to the spread of germs and illnesses. It is important for everyone to practice good hand hygiene to prevent the spread of diseases.

On average, most people typically wipe between 3 to 5 times after using the bathroom. This number can vary based on individual preferences, types of bathroom tissue used, and personal hygiene practices.

Flossing helps to prevent gum disease, which can contribute to the breakdown of gum tissue and bone structure in the mouth. This can help maintain a healthy mouth and prevent premature aging of the gums and teeth.

Most of the time yes. Alzheimers confuses people to such a degree that they may forget to bathe daily, forget about bathing all together, or forget to care about bathing. They may also foget to eat, drink & use the washroom among many other things.

Clients from cultural backgrounds such as Middle Eastern and some Asian cultures may not wish to be moved, touched, or seen unclothed by healthcare professionals of the opposite sex. Some Asian cultures wish to be involved in care to the point that they may watch over the patient around the clock, taking shifts, and they might wish to do the turning. Some people simply prefer not to be moved due to shyness but sometimes laziness or legitimate pain. However, patients must be turned one way or another due to the safety risks posed to skin integrity, formation of contractures which limit range of motion and mobility, and increase time spent in the hospital.

When sponging a resident, you will need a basin of warm water, soap or gentle cleansing solution, clean washcloths or bath sponge, a towel for drying, gloves if needed, and any special products recommended for the resident's skin condition. Always ensure privacy and dignity for the resident during the process.

Putting detergent tablets into the silverware rack won't work because the silverware rack won't release the tablets into the water. You're better off hand washing the dishes if you can't get your dishwasher fixed.

Your kitchen sponge probably has more bacteria than anything else in the house. It's worse than the toilet. Bacteria thrive in moist environments. Let your sponge dry out between uses. Don't leave the sponge sitting in the bottom of the sink. Squeeze it and let it dry. Replace it every week or two. It's also recommended that you wet a sponge and then microwave it for two minutes every two days. The high heat kills bacteria on it. You can also put it in the dishwasher but that's not quite as good. Dishrags are another have for germs. Let them dry between uses and wash them frequently. Even better: use paper towels or disposable wipes.

Good Hygiene

Funny things happen,

as we get a little older....

we get a little stronger,

and smell a little bolder!

So we use deodorant,

and bathe everyday....

and put on clean clothes,

so the smell goes away.

We need to brush our teeth,

and learn how to''floss''....

it prevents bad breath

and possible tooth loss!

We practice "good-hygiene" habits,

it's easier than it seems......

it's all part of growing up

and building ''self-estem''!

A catheter is a thin tube inserted into the body to drain fluids or administer medications, such as in urinary catheterization to empty the bladder or in intravenous catheterization to deliver fluids or medication directly into the bloodstream.

Sounds like you should ask a professional piercer and/or doctor. If you've got something scary going on, you should get it taken care of ASAP. Wikianswers is not the place to get a medical diagnosis or serious medical advice. It's POSSIBLe someone can give you a great answer, but why wouldn't you ask a professional?

Proper sanitation and hygiene are key elements in promoting health and overall well-being of people. This include proper disposal of wastes and avoiding any form of contact with hazardous substances among other things.

This is a very broad question.

Food Hygiene in a nutshell is the correct and appropriate handling, storage and date labelling of all food products and food groups to effectively control bacterial cross contamination between the food groups.

It also means having the knowledge required to know how certain food products need to be cooked to avoid causing illness such as the correct cooking temperatures for minced meat (meat that has been exposed to the air) and poultry products such as chicken which could give you E-coli.

Bacteria can only live and multiply at certain temperatures - hence we cook food to kill bacteria and chill or freeze it so that bacteria cannot multiply.

"Use by Dates" are also a very important part of food hygiene as it ensures the freshness and therefore quality of the food product. Obviously different food products can be stored for different amounts of time - meat and fish can be stored for slightly longer if chilled after being cooked rather then simply being stored fresh and raw in a refrigerated environment.

As a general rule dairy products shouldn't be out of a refrigerator for any longer than 15-20 minutes with the exception of some cheeses such as hard cheese like Parmesan.

Many restaurants with decent standards will also colour code their knives and chopping boards to ensure that, for instance only the green knife and board are used for vegetables and only the red knife and board for raw meat etc

That's the best I can do without you being more specific!

I actually have a huge irrational fear of crabs and my entire family gets mad at me for it but I can’t help it

Washing your hands kills and/or removes most harmful germs (e.g., bacteria and viruses) which will protect you and those with whom you come into contact from being contaminated and sickened by those germs on your hands.

well, the role of the house keeper in a hotel is just cleaning, the washing, clearing out the bins, making the beds, prepare new and cleaned sheets. That's all they do really but i don't think they get much money even though it's like a 5 Star hotel...

Bathe daily

Wear clean garments in production (prefer company-supplied uniforms and aprons)

Wash and sanitize hands at least at the beginning of each shift, at breaks and any other time it is necessary

Keep gloves clean and sanitary

Don't touch anything but the food or clean utensils

If you drop something on the floor, leave it there or wash hands and replace gloves if you pick it up.

Report to your supervisor if you are ill

Without good hygiene and sanitary condidtions, germs and disease would spread quickly. This would make people get sick and die more often, and would make for a disgusting world to live in.that's all folks.

The basic rules for keeping any kind of fish sucessfully are. :- 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water. :- Every tank must have a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every tank must have at least 50% of its water replaced every week. If you stick to the above rules your fish will stand a chance of survival. If you miss out on any of the above I can guarantee that your fish will be constantly getting sick and dying before they should.

There is definitely a relationship. Poor personal hygiene is bad for everyone concerned.

The major one that comes to mind is passing Hepatitis A, by being contagious, having a bowel movement and then not washing your hands. Also, you can pass E.coli by not washing your hands. They also have shields called "sneeze guards" at salad bars, because sneezes can pass many diseases to persons who unknowingly eat food that has been sneezed on. Yes heres one example: An employee at Mckings decides to use the restroom before his shift. He then ignores the Wash Your hands sign and exits the restroom. Two things are wrong here, he is the cook and the door now holds e-coli and other germs he was carrying. Later on someone drives through the drive through and orders a double cheeseburger. He prepares it with no gloves on and therefore spreads e-coli on the burger. The customer eats this and later gets violently sick of e-coli posioning.

Of course hand sanatizer is made of 90 percent alchohol so take a bottle of alchohol pour most of into the contaner that you are going to use and add gelatin to make it thick there you have it that's how you make hand sanatizer

r u sure?
