An announcement from THE N.Z. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
8.8A
Hey, YOU!
Wash your hands …
YOU GROCER because your touch affects hundreds of people's health. Food poisoning and sickness are spread from unclean hands. Higher standards of hygiene will keep food poisoning away, give your premises that extra sparkle that attracts satisfied customers.
YOU WAITRESS because the most important point in your job is your responsibility to your customer to serve clean, healthy food. Use plenty of soap and water to keep germs off fingers; always wash after using the toilet.
YOU HOUSEWIFE because your family's health is in your hands during food preparation and serving. Always wash hands before you deal with food, after blowing the nose, combing the hair and visiting the toilet. Train the children to automatically wash hands after the toilet and before meals.
WORKMAN because in the final analysis it's your own clean hands handling your own food which give protection from food poisoning and other infection picked up by the hands.
TYPIST because the many things you touch, hand to and receive from colleagues can spread disease.
