Memory anchors
Protective clothing protects food
Keep it clean, suitable, correctly worn and separate from outdoor contamination.
Wounds are reported
The responsible person must assess whether work can continue safely.
Detectable and waterproof
Use the approved conspicuous dressing and a glove if the procedure also requires one.
Jewellery can contaminate
Follow the workplace restriction for foreign-object and cleaning risks.
Glove is not a cure
A glove neither replaces reporting nor makes poor hygiene safe.
Checkpoint rule
