University Dining Employee Handbook - 2020

HEALTH & SAFETY AT WORK

GLOVE USE

Glove use: University Dining Service provides a variety of gloves. Utilize the appropriate gloves for your work area. We only use latex free gloves.

Glove use guidelines: • Wash hands before putting on gloves • Use the correct glove size • Hold gloves by the edges when putting them on. • Never blow into gloves or roll gloves to make them easier to put on. • Change gloves when:

• they become dirty or torn • before beginning a new task

• after interruptions (like answering a phone call) • after handling raw meat, seafood or poultry • before handling ready to eat foods • after taking out trash/recycling or doing dishes

•

Don’t Forget to:

1. Use utensils or gloves when preparing or serving food. Check with your manager or lead worker if there are questions. 2. If using utensils for food, gloves are not needed. Gloves are only for handling ready-to-eat foods in preparation or service. 3. Handle utensils and dish ware properly. Always pick them up so that your fingers don’t touch the surface that will contact the customer’s mouth or food.
