Keep your hair in a neat and tidy state, and where provided wear a hairnet in the presence of food
Wear clean protective clothing when interacting with food

- If using multi-use gloves make sure they are washed, sanitised and rinsed between uses
Remove all jewellery from hands and arms

What do you do when suffering from ailments and illnesses that may be a hazard to food safety?

The first step is to not panic when feeling sick in the working environment
- Common ailments which people suffer from that effect the safety of food are vomiting and diarrhoea
- Report to a supervisor in the event of suffering from any ailment or illness
- It is better that you remain absent while sick rather than be around areas of food preparation
- If you do suffer from diarrhoea or vomiting, you should not return to work until 48 hours after the symptoms have cleared
