Hand Sanitizers are an acceptable form of hand sanitation because:
  1. They are just as effective as washing your hands
  2. They kill all of the bacteria on your hands
  3. Provide more protection than washing your hands
  4. It is not an acceptable form of hand sanitation
Explanation
Answer - D - Hand sanitizers are not an acceptable form of hand sanitation because they do not kill all forms of food hazards. Hand sanitizers cannot remove chemical or physical hazards and only kill 99.9% of bacteria. Since there are billions of bacteria on your hands, millions will survive, even if 99.9% are killed. For these reasons, the only form of acceptable hand sanitation is to properly wash your hands.
