Customer Care and Help

When implementing a uniform policy it is important to remember that the uniform is there to protect the food from being contaminated by the worker, not the worker from being contaminated by the food. Therefore, all uniforms, including aprons, should be clean and in good condition. Stressing good personal hygiene, such as wearing clean clothes and appropriate hair restraints (i.e. hats, hairnets, etc.) and removing jewelry should also be incorporated in a uniform policy.

Keep in mind that uniforms should be removed when going to the restroom or when taking out the trash. Uniforms that become contaminated or soiled during the course of a shift should be replaced with a clean one.
