Hand Hygiene Certification Programs

Designed to improve employee hand hygiene knowledge and skills the Hand Hygiene Certificate Programs educate and train employees in the best practices of hand hygiene

The Certificate programs can be done on-site using the HFLI videos and test materials or over the Internet by logging on to the Learning Center.

Each program can be administered to an individual employee in about 30 minutes (see New Employee) or to a group of employees in about 60 minutes (see Team Rally).

There are 3 Core Hand Hygiene Certification programs offered by Handwashingforlife Institute:

The Handwashing Certification Program:

• This is the basic program that every employee should complete before starting work in a foodservice environment. The Person-In-Charge should NOT allow anyone to enter his or her foodservice operation without this level of certification. This includes managers, owners and all suppliers.

The Hand Sanitizing Certification Program:

• This supplementary program trains workers in the proper application and use of hand sanitizers. It is strongly recommended that all workers in foodservice receive this level of certification.

The Hand Gloving Certification Program:

• This program is designed for workers who are required to use gloves at their food preparation or foodservice station. It also applies to employees who need to glove for injury or cosmetic reasons. Again it is strongly recommended that all workers in foodservice receive this certification.
