What action should be taken after sneezing while wearing gloves?

1. Continue working as usual

2. Change gloves immediately

3. Wipe the gloves with sanitizer

4. Wash hands and reapply gloves

The correct answer is: Change gloves immediately

When an employee sneezes while wearing gloves, changing gloves immediately is crucial for maintaining proper hygiene and food safety standards. Sneezing can potentially introduce contaminants from the mouth and nose onto the gloves, which could then be transferred to food or surfaces being handled. By changing the gloves right away, the employee ensures that any pathogens or allergens that may have been expelled during the sneeze do not compromise the sanitation of the food preparation area. This practice not only protects the health of customers but also reinforces the commitment to safe food handling practices. While other actions, such as wiping gloves with sanitizer or washing hands, may seem appropriate, they do not effectively eliminate the risk of contamination the way changing gloves does. Continuing to work without addressing the hygiene concern would also not be in line with proper food safety protocols.
