【爱马斯全球】工作中使用正确的手套： 食品加工

Workers in the food processing industry should be required to wear disposable gloves to protect consumers who eat the foods they handle.

食品加工服务人员需要穿戴一次性手套来保护客人。

Workers come in contact with a variety of foods, which can carry bacteria that can cause foodborne illnesses such as listeria and salmonella. There are also bacteria that are transferred from humans to food as a result of poor hygiene, such as E.coli, hepatitis A and staphylococcus. Disposable gloves can serve as a barrier between workers hands and these bacteria to lessen the chance of transmission to consumers.

服务人员会接触各种各样的食物，在接触过程中手上会携带细菌，比如李斯特菌和沙门氏菌，食用后可引起食源性疾病。一次性手套能在工作人员的手和这些细菌之间提供保护屏障来减少向消费者传播的机会。

select mListea, for example, is found in soil and water and can be present in uncooked meats and vegetables. Food processing plant workers who do not wear disposable gloves can contaminate their hands if they come into contact with a Listeria-infected food product, thereby leading to cross contamination of other foods they handle. This can result in widespread transmission of Listeria throughout the facility.

比如李斯特菌，存活在土壤和水中，常常存在于未煮熟的肉和蔬菜里。食品加工人员若不穿戴手套，在处理被李斯特菌污染过的食物后，手部会被污染，在处理其它食物时，会产生交叉污染。结果导致（病菌）在工厂内大范围传播。

It is not easy for employers to help monitor how well employees wash their hands. However, they can implement a glove program to prevent contamination and employee illnesses from being transmitted to food products. Not only does donning gloves aid in preventing the spread of foodborne illnesses, but it is also mandated by certain government regulations.

对雇主来说，监督员工正确洗手并不容易。然而他们可以通过配备手套来防止食品受到污染以及来自生病员工病菌的传播。穿戴手套不仅有助于防止食源性疾病传播，并且在此方面有着一定的政府法规规定。

FDA food contact rules regarding disposable gloves are in place to protect workers in the food processing industry and consumers.

FDA食品接触法规指出一次性手套应用于保护食品加工人员和顾客。

The U.S. Federal Drug Administration (FDA) has several rules regarding the necessity of gloves for food contact. These rules are in place to protect workers in the food processing industry and consumers.

关于食品接触时穿戴手套的必要性，美国联邦药品管理局（FDA）有几项规则。这些规则应用于保护食品加工人员和顾客。

Here are some the FDA’s Food Code provisions regarding glove usage:

以下是关于手套使用时，FDA食品代码规定：

1.Workers must minimize bare hand and arm contact with exposed food that is not ready to eat.

工作人员处理未准备直接食用的食物时，手和手臂的暴露必须以控制最小化。

2.Gloves or utensils such as tongs and spatulas must be used for contact with exposed, ready-to-eat foods except when washing fruits and vegetables.

在处理裸露的或者直接性食用食品时，必须使用手套或者一些器具（如钳和刮刀），洗水果和蔬菜除外。

3.Gloves can be used for a single task and must be discarded when workers switch to a new task, the gloves become soiled or the task is interrupted.

手套应用于单一处理任务，当工作人员切换到处理新任务时、手套已被弄脏或者处理任务被中断时，都应丢弃穿戴的手套。

The FDA also requires all food processing employees wash their hands. This step can reduce the chance of contamination because it prevents pathogens and other hazardous materials from touching the inside of the glove–one of many best practices for donning gloves.

美国食品药物管理局还规定所有食品加工工作人员都要洗手。这个步骤可以减少污染机会，因为可以防止病原体和其他有害物质接触手部——穿戴手套最佳实践之一。
