 Personal Hygiene and
Cleanliness
 Personal hygiene- refers to the practices and habits that individuals
follow to maintain cleanliness and promote good health. This includes
regular bathing or showering, brushing teeth, washing hands,
wearing clean clothes, and grooming hair.

 Cleanliness, on the other hand, is the state of being clean, free from
dirt, germs, or pollutants, and it involves actions to keep the body,
living spaces, and environment tidy and sanitary. Practicing good
personal hygiene and cleanliness helps prevent the spread of illness
and promotes overall well-being.
 Components of Personal
Hygiene
Components of personal hygiene includes:
• Hand Hygiene
• Nail Hygiene
• Oral Hygiene
• Body Hygiene
• Genital Hygiene
• Clothes Hygiene
 Hand Hygiene- is arguably one of the most important personal hygiene
practices that can carry out. It should be doe often and well in order to protect
ourselves and so many others. Hand washing should be done after using the
restroom, before and after making or eating food, before or after we have
touched high populated surfaces, before and after we have touched other
hands, and any other time you feel it is appropriate. The good thing about hand
washing is that it is easy, effective, and there is no such thing as overdoing it.

 Nail Hygiene- nails are often an overlooked part of good body hygiene but are
just as important to maintain as anything else. Trimming your nails semi-
regularly will help to keep them at appropriate lengths so that unwanted dirt
and germs do not build under them. It is important to note that biting your nails
should be avoided at all costs. Not only is it a tricky habit to shake, but it is also
a direct way to expose harmful germs, bacteria, and viruses to your face and
mouth.

 Oral Hygiene- keeping your mouth clean and free from diseases forms the
basis of oral hygiene. Good oral hygiene involves more than just brushing your
teeth. A healthy routine will also keep you away from issues like gum diseases
and cavities. It will also prevent bad breath.
 Body Hygiene- there are so many sweat glands in your body. When outside
bacteria mixes with sweat, it creates bad body odour. Washing your body will
not only help you fight the odour but also remove the pollutants from your skin.
Bathing every day will keep your skin protected from outside bacteria. It will
also reduce the chances of skin irritation. Also, scrubbing your body parts will
get rid of the dead skin cells, making your skin smooth and glowing.

 Genital Hygiene- your genitals are a delicate part of your body and need
special attention. If you don’t clean the are, you may end up with serious
conditions like urinary tract infections.

 Clothes Hygiene- regular washing of clothes and bedding, helps to remove any
bacteria, dirt, fleas, mites and other irritants or infection. Washing of clothes
and bedding can help reduce the incidence of infectious diseases, such as
diarrhoeal disease, respiratory infections, scabies and other skin infections.
 Ground Personal Hygiene on
Food Safety Practices
Ground personal hygiene is essential in food safety practices to prevent
foodborne illnesses and cross-contamination.
 Wash your hands
-perhaps the most important piece of advise, and an essential
element or personal cleanliness, is washing your hands with
antibacterial soap and warm water. This is the only way to ensure that
contaminants are removed from your hands and stops cross-
contamination from occurring between food products, utensils and
surfaces, protecting you and the people eating the food you’ve handle.
 Dry Your Hands
-after washing your hands, properly drying them is also an
important part of personal hygiene rules. Whilst clean and wet hands
don’t pose much of a health risk if they come into contact with food, wet
hands might drop water o the floor of a kitchen and cause a slip hazard,
or might make handling utensils like knives dangerous.

 Wear Clean Protective Clothing

- contaminants are most likely to transfer from your hands to the
food you’re handling, but can also transfer from your clothes. Wearing
protective clothing like an apron, hat, hair net or gloves in the kitchen
reduces the risk, and therefore is a key piece of personal hygiene advice
to follow. In order to reduce the risk of cross-contamination, make sure
that the clothes you’re wearing are clean.
 Cover Or Tie Up Long Hair
- long hair is a health and safety risk when handling food because
it can get mixed up in ingredients and may be accidentally consumed by
whoever eats the final food product. When handling food, long hair needs
to be securely tied back so that it will not be fall in the food that we are
handle, and hairnets may also need to be worn in some kitchen
environments.

 Keep Fingernails Short and Clean

- contaminants have the potential to reside underneath your
fingernails and then contaminate the food products you handle. Therefor,
fingernails need to be kept clean through regular hand washing, but also
should be kept short so that there’s less of a chance that any dirt will get
underneath them. Having clean nails means avoiding wearing nail polish.
 Remove Jewelry
- wearing jewelry also presents a contamination risk, this time of physical
cross-contamination, as the items you’re wearing might drop into the food you’re
handling and cause a choking or health hazard to the consumer, therefor, you’re
recommended nit to wear ant jewelry whilst in a food handling environment to
remove the likelihood of this risk.
 Avoid Strong Perfumes
- strong fragrances have the potential to taint food products, particularly
ones that have a high fat content. To avoid any lingering chemical particles from
perfume or cologne contaminating food, or just causing it to smell like an artificial
fragrance, avoid wearing any kind of strong scent whilst working in a kitchen.
 Cover Wounds
if you have wounds on your hands or cut your self whilst in the kitchen,
an essential way to practice goof hygiene is to ensure that these are covered up.
Open wounds present an obvious biological contamination risk, but even scabs or
new scars can still harbour germs that might get into the food you’re handling, so
you must wear plasters or dressings over these to keep them safely covered.
 Don’t Smoke Near the Kitchen
- the scent and smoke produced by smoking cigarettes can contaminate
your hands and clothes, which in turn has the potential to contaminate the
food you handle afterwards. A key part of having good personal hygiene is
ensuring the you remove any protective clothing that you’re wearing before
leaving the kitchen to go and smoke, and then thoroughly washing your hands
afterwards before touching any ingredients.

 Keep Hands Away From Your Face

- an element of good personal hygiene that applies to all areas, not just
handling food, is that you should try and avoid touching your eyes, ears, nose
and mouth. These parts of your face are places where germs are most likely to
collect, and you risks cross-contamination if you are regularly touching your
face and then handling food without washing your hands in between. If you do
notice yourself touching your face, try and remember to wash your hands
before continuing to handle any food.
 Good Grooming Hygiene on
Food Safety Practices
Good grooming hygiene is essential for ensuring food safety in both home
and professional kitchens.
• Handwashing- always wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before
preparing food, after touching raw food, and after using the restroom.
Proper handwashing includes scrubbing for at least 20 seconds.
• Clean Clothing- wear clean clothing and an apron while handling food to
avoid contamination. Avoid wearing jewelry or accessories.
• Nail Care- keep nails trimmed and clean, as long nails can harbour
bacteria. Avoid wearing nail polish or fake nails, as they can be breeding
grounds for germs.
• Hair Management- tie long hair back or wear hairnet to
prevent hair from falling into food. Ensure facial hair is
well-groomed and covered if necessary.

• Cutting and Prep Tools- ensure knives, cutting boards,

and other utensils are cleaned thoroughly after each use,
especially when switching between raw and cooked food
items.

• Avoid Cross-Contamination- use separate tools and

cutting boards for raw meat, poultry, seafood, and
vegetables to avoid the spread of harmful bacteria.

• Sanitizing Surfaces- regularly sanitize kitchen surfaces

and utensils to prevent the buildup of germs that can
 Controlling
Diseases
Controlling diseases, especially those related to food safety, involves a
combination of preventive measures, good hygiene practices, and
vigilance in monitoring health risk. Here are some strategies for disease
control:
1. Proper Food Handling
o Cook food to the correct temperature to kill harmful bacteria.
o Store food at safe temperatures (below 40F/4C for cold foods and above
140F/60C for hot foods).
o Avoid cross-contamination by keeping raw and cooked foods separate.
