Why do hands need to stay clean? HACCP

Keeping hands clean no matter what you are doing is a simple and effective way to avoid diseases spreading. In the food industry this is even more important.

There are many diseases that can spread in food preparation areas if hands are not cleaned using proper washing procedures. The diseases that can be spread by dirty hands can cause a myriad of ailments.

The shigella bug can cause diarrhoea and streptococci can give you a sore throat. Haemophilus can cause pink eye to spread and streptococcus pneumoniae can give you pneumonia. Pseudomonas can infect wounds and Hepatitis A will cause jaundice and diarrhoea. Staphylococcus will create boils. E Coli and bacteroides will spread if hands are not washed after toilet use.

None of these germs need to be spread if hands are washed regularly and properly and good manufacturing procedures are followed.
