Adam and Galinsky, two behavioral science researchers, developed the "dress cognition" hypothesis that "the symbolism of clothing" and "whether or not you actually dress" have an impact on behavior.
To test this hypothesis, they designed a series of experiments. In the first set of experiments, university undergraduates were placed in the laboratory to carry out some research work. One group of students was asked to wear lab coats during work, and the other group had no dress code. Work error statistics show that students who wear lab coats make nearly 50 percent fewer mistakes than those who don't. In other words, students who enter the lab in casual clothes are more than twice as likely to make mistakes at work as students in lab coats.
Inspiration for food safety:The food industry's emphasis on employee attire is often aimed at preventing cross-contamination of food equipment and utensils, rather than influencing employee behavior. And the above research shows thatEmployees** can also have a real impact on their ability to focus, conscientious, and be accountable at work
Combined with the above relevant information, the impact of work clothes on food safety has been self-evident, but in actual work, we often find that the work clothes worn by the factory have many problems, and may even become foreign objects**, the following are two actual case diagrams, let's find out the differences together, and see how many non-conformities you can find.
Question 1:Wear short-sleeved overalls.
Risk points: Short-sleeved overalls cannot wrap the body parts well, exposing the arms, and the dander and hair on the body may fall into the product.
Solution: The food workshop should wear long-sleeved overalls, and you can choose split or one-piece according to the region. 
Question two: Overalls jacket set pockets.
Risk points: Employees will unconsciously place pens, cards, keys and other items in the pockets, which may cause the risk of foreign bodies.
Solution: Work clothes should be as free of pockets as possible, if they must be set up pockets in work clothes, they should be located below the waist. All personal belongings are stored in personal lockers, and enterprises need to consider the storage of wardrobe keys, and use keyless methods such as fingerprint locks and password locks to protect personal belongings.
Question three: Plastic buttons are used for overalls.
Risk pointsPlastic buttons are generally fixed with cotton thread, which is easy to break and damaged after a long time, and cannot be effectively detected by the gold inspection equipment, so there is a risk of foreign bodies.
Solution: Try to minimize the use of buttons or zippers, choose T-shirt overalls without buttons, if you must use zippers or buttons, you should choose metal materials. 
Question four: Exposed hair.
Risk points: Wearing only disposable mesh caps has poor performance, hair is exposed, and it may fall into the product.
Solution: You can choose to wear a shawl hat with good protection, and the inner cap is added to the inner cap for double-layer protection. During the operation, employees check each other for hair exposure. 
Question five: Mix work clothes and casual clothes, and work clothes in different areas.
Risk pointsMixing of workwear and casual clothes, as well as mixing of workwear in high-clean and low-clean areas, can lead to cross-contamination, posing a risk of foreign bodies and microorganisms.
Solution: Equipped with personal cabinets and sufficient space for storing personal clothes, different cleaning areas of work clothes are differentiated, and staff training is strengthened to enhance employee awareness. The above is to share with you about the common problems and solutions in the audit of workwear, quality and safety selection of food work from the user's point of view, in line with ergonomic design, to meet the audit requirements, in order to better serve customers, especially for food workwear fabrics testing, with GB T 37850 "food workers with workwear technical requirements" test report.
