STEPS TO PERSONAL HYGIENE

1. Before You Arrive At Work
Cleanliness on the job requires a shower daily and a change to clean underclothing. Use Deodorant. Trim fingernails. Brush teeth and hair properly everyday. Limit the use of heavy scents. Use PPE when appropriate.

2. Skin Care
One of the most effective methods to control cross-contamination in the workplace is thorough hand washing. In medical environments hands should be washed after performing duties around a patient area and before continuing on to the next area. Always wash hands before and after eating or using the restroom.

3. Proper hand washing
Apply hand soap to hands. Massage the fingers and knuckles. Scrub fingernails with a nail brush. When cleaning isolation areas and areas with a high risk of cross contamination wash vigorously for two minutes to three minutes while the water is running.
