hello,

 

Could you please give me a list of rules to be respected in the changing rules please?

 

Thank you

[Sawsan31]

Hi,

 

In my company we have few golden rules for changing room as follows:

 

- Employees should enter remove their cloths, Jackets in designated areas and other belongings in personal cabinets

- Shower or Wash their hands if there is no shower area

- Wear the Clean Uniform then safety shoes if available

- Wash hands again,

- Wear PPE (Hair net, masks, aprons, sleeves, etc...)

- Wash 3rd time and sanitize their hands and enter to production!

 

You have to make sure when they use washrooms in break times to wash hands, get new PPE and wash hands again before entering the production area.

 

I hope this would help!
