Do you like safe food? Do you hate spreading disease? Are your hands a little bit dirty today? Well then you, my friend, have reason for celebration. Today is Global Handwashing Day!
From the press release:
Children suffer disproportionately from diarrheal diseases – with more than 2 million children under five
dying every year from diarrhea and pneumonia‐related illnesses. The simple act of washing hands with
soap at critical moments (such as after using the toilet and before handling food) is a key cost‐effective
and life‐saving intervention. Research has shown that handwashing with soap can reduce the incidence
of diarrhea among children under five by almost 50 per cent, and respiratory infections by nearly 25 per
cent.

Hand washing is also a simple way to prevent the spread of foodborne illness. Food handlers, whether at home or in commercial kitchens, should always remember to wash their hands before and after touching raw meat, after using the restroom, or after touching any surface that is not clean and sanitized.

A few weeks ago, we let you know that StateFoodSafety.com had received accreditation from the American National Standards Institute, as a certificate provider for Food Handler Card training. Now, we have even more to celebrate as Governor Brown has signed Senate Bill 303 into law. SB 303, also known as the revised California Food Handler Law, became official on September 6, 2011. This law requires that all California Food Handlers receive Food Handler Training from an ANSI accredited program. The bill, more than nine months in the making, helps ensure that all California Food Handlers will receive consistent, instructionally sound training when procuring their California Food Handler Card.
We were privileged to be involved in the crafting of this bill and we would like to congratulate Senator Padilla, the bill’s author, as well as the entire California State Legislature for taking this important step toward ensuring the continued success of the California food service industry.
Online Food Handler Training is a great way for California’s food handlers to learn to do their jobs safely and prevent foodborne illness. StateFoodSafety.com is proud to offer a quality online food handler training experience to food handlers throughout the state. Our course has been recognized for its instructionally sound presentation, so much so that StateFoodSafety.com was recently awarded an exclusive contract to administer the food handler training program in San Bernardino County.
The best way to protect yourself from “what’s going around” this flu season is to wash your hands. December 5-11, 2010 is National Handwashing Awareness Week, where Henry the Hand will remind you of the four principles of handwashing:
- Wash your hands when they are dirty and before eating.
- Do not cough into your hands.
- Do not sneeze into your hands.
- Above all, do not put your fingers in your eyes, nose, or mouth.
Yes, that means you.
The CDC, FDA, and (of course) StateFoodSafety.com™ offer resources to help you remember the five basic steps to handwashing:
- Wet your hands with clean running water and apply soap. Use warm water if it is available.
- Rub hands together to make a lather and scrub all surfaces.
- Continue rubbing hands for 20 seconds. Need a timer? Hum the “Happy Birthday” song from beginning to end twice. We also recommend humming the “Alphabet Song” from A to Z.
- Rinse hands well under running water.
- Dry your hands using a paper towel or air dryer. If possible, use your paper towel to turn off the faucet.

Last May, during the NBA playoff game between the Phoenix Suns and the LA Lakers, Sun’s coach Alvin Gentry puked into a garbage can–on national TV. The reason? He attributed the illness to Kobe Bryant, but the real culprit was a grilled artichoke he ate before the game.
It can be easy to forget why food safety education is so important. Many of the rules we teach seem merely hypothetical, until something like Coach Gentry’s food poisoning occurs. It’s clear that foodborne illness can affect anyone–and it always seems to come at the least convenient times!
We are thrilled to offer our online food service worker training and testing in Maricopa County. Food service workers in Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa, Scottsdale, and all the other cities and towns within Maricopa County now have access to affordable, convenient, approved online food handler training through StateFoodSafety.com. Our course is available for $9.50 in English, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese. With so many food workers well-trained in food safety, who knows? Maybe the Suns will go all the way this season . . .
