What is the first step to correctly wash your hands?

Handwashing is critical for food safety. Unclean hands are one of the biggest causes of foodborne illness. This is the proper way to wash your hands:
1) Wet hands and arms with warm running water.
2) Apply soap and work up a good lather.
3) Vigorously scrub hands, arms, and fingertips for at least 10 to 15 seconds.
4) Rinse hands and arms thoroughly with warm running water.
5) Dry hands and arms with a single-use paper towel or hand dryer.
The entire handwashing process should take at least 20 seconds. All employees should be informed of the proper way to wash their hands.
