What is the most common violation when washing hands?

Back

Turning off the water with bare washed hands

Answer explanation

After washing and rinsing hands, leave the water faucet running while you dry your hands with a paper towel. Once your hands are dry, use the paper towel to turn off the faucet, preventing your clean hands from touching it. Whatever bacteria was on your hands when you turned the water on were transferred to the water faucet. Using your clean hands to turn off the faucet recontaminates your hands with the same bacteria you were attempting to wash away!
