Public Health Picture Blog-Chick-fil-A hand washing sign

                  1) Describe what and where example is

·       This is a Chick-fil-A sign in Athens, GA reminding employees to wash their hands before returning to the kitchen.

            2) Describe how your choice is an example of public health

·       This is an example of public health because it helps remind employees to wash their hands before they return to the kitchen to prepare food. Washing your hands help stop the spread of germs. It’s important to wash your hands before preparing food so one does not spread a disease or germs to someone else.

             3) Why did you choose this example

·       I chose this example because I thought that it was a really good idea to have a sign that reminds people as they leave the restroom to wash their hands.    

            4) Why it is important that others consider this example of public health

·       By having the sign up so that the public can see the rules that the employees must follow it makes the employees do what they are supposed to do. If a costumer sees that the employee did not wash their hands then they can report that employee to the manger because they did not follow the rules.  Having this sign in the restrooms at Chick-fil-A makes the costumers feel that they are eating at a clean place. It is also important for others to consider this example because it affects everyone not just the people that work at Chick-fil-la.  If the employees did not wash their hands before cooking the food then they will spread the germs to their costumers and the costumers will spread it to the rest of the public. That’s why its important for others to consider this as an example of public health because it affects everyone.
