FS03: Hand Washing – Video Transcript
On screen: This is an animated video, with characters and backgrounds. The lead tutor, Sandra, can be seen talking to the camera. She is in chef whites, and there’s a commercial kitchen in the background.
Audio: Hi there, and welcome back. In this short video we’ll look at when, and how, to wash your hands. This is important, because one of the easiest ways for bacteria to spread from one area to another is through hands. Hands frequently come into contact with food, work surfaces, equipment and utensils and can easily transfer bacteria.
To help prevent this, you must wash your hands at the following times as a minimum;
On screen: Maria, the food service assistant, can be seen starting her shift.
Audio: Before starting work, or preparing food.
On screen: Maria can be seen handling food.
Audio: Before and after handling raw or cooked foods, eating, and handling raw eggs in their shells.
On screen: Maria is sneezing!
Audio: After sneezing, coughing, touching your face or hair, and visiting the toilet.
On screen: Maria is picking up rubbish and putting it in a black bin liner.
Audio: And after touching bins or rubbish, using chemicals or carrying out cleaning jobs, or wearing vinyl gloves.
On screen: We now see Sandra again, in the same kitchen talking to camera.
Audio: As you can see, there are many times you need to wash your hands, and it’s important that you do it in the correct way to reduce the chance of bacteria spreading. You must always use a hand wash basin, not a food preparation sink, and use warm water. Let’s look at what you need to do in more detail.
On screen: hands can be seen washing palm to palm.
Audio: Start by washing your hands from palm to palm.
On screen: The fingers on the hands lock.
Audio: Make sure you lock your fingers to ensure they are all washed.
On screen: The hands wash from front to back.
Audio: Next, wash your hands from front to back to ensure the backs of hands are clean.
On screen: The hands wash from fist to palm.
Audio: You should then wash your hands from fist to palm.
On screen: The hands wash their thumbs.
Audio: And always make sure you specifically wash your thumbs.
On screen: The hands wash from finger to palm.
Audio: Wash from finger to palm.
On screen: The hands wash their wrists.
Audio: Then finally make sure you also wash your wrists as well.
On screen: We see the tap turned off using paper towel.
Audio: Ensure the taps are turned off hygienically, for example by using a disposable paper towel to avoid re-contaminating hands.
On screen: We now see Sandra again, in the same kitchen talking to camera.
Audio: Once washed, you then need to dry your hands as well. Over 1000 times more bacteria spreads from damp hands than dry hands, so remember that drying is just as important as washing!
You must wash your hands regularly to help stop bacteria spreading. You must also avoid unhygienic practices, keep your finger nails short and clean, and don’t wear nail varnish, false nails, or any jewellery other than a plain wedding band.
These steps will help to reduce contamination risks, and keep everyone safe at work.
Thank you for watching this short video. I’ll see you back for the next one soon!!!
