When changing jobs in the kitchen, you must wash your hands to prevent contamination of anything that you touch. Examples are touching dirty dishes and then prepping seafood or beef. Another example is prepping shrimp and touching handles of equipment. Hands must be washed often and thoroughly between tasks. Hands must be washed for a minimum of 20 seconds. Remember that it is not necessarily a requirement to wear gloves when prepping beef, chicken, or seafood as long as your hands are clean, and the food is to be thoroughly cooked. Replace missing paper towels. Purchase disposable gloves to minimize cross contamination.
