Poor Personal Hygiene, specifically failure to wash hands properly, is a leading cause of foodbourne illness. Food often becomes unsafe because it is prepared by foodhandlers who have failed to practice proper handwashing thus transferring unsafe contaminates to food. Ensuring that proper handwashing practices are enforced in a food service establishment is mandated by food safety regulations. All facilities must have a properly stocked Handwash Station and employees fully trained on how to properly wash hands. The video, "Hand Washing and the Risk of Cross Contamination," illustrates the importance of properly washing hands.
Hand Washing and the Risk of Cross Contamination
One technological innovation for ensuring proper handwashing is the installation of Proper Handwashing Detection Monitoring systems. These systems identify employees through the use of assigned badges which are used to initiate handwashing activities. It alerts the system if employee fails to properly execute all steps of proper handwashing.

When I walk into restrooms in public restaurants, I love seeing the employee handwash station. I often find myself observing employees when they make my food, if possible, to make sure they sanitize and/or wash their hands properly.
