There should be a written policy supported by visual evidence that employees are required to wash their hands prior to beginning work, after breaks, after using the toilets etc. Other times when hand washing might be appropriate especially if around the growing crop include after using a tissue, after touching chemicals and at any point where hands maybe contaminated with a substance that if this substance was to come into contact with the edible portion of the crop, it would be a food safety concern.
