Workplace Personal Hygiene Practices & Compliance Survey

Thanks for taking a few minutes on this one — it's about hand hygiene, uniforms, and workplace cleanliness habits, not a performance review. Your responses are completely confidential and anonymized. Honest answers help us fix real problems, not point fingers. About 5-6 minutes.

In the last 30 days, how often did you wash or sanitize your hands before starting your shift?

• Every shift
• Most shifts
• About half the time
• Rarely
• Never

Over the last 30 days, how often did you do each of the following?

How confident are you that you can follow every hygiene step correctly even during your busiest, most rushed moments?

What gets in the way of following hygiene procedures as closely as you'd like? Select all that apply.

• Not enough time between tasks
• Sinks, sanitizer, or supplies are out of reach or empty
• Gloves or masks run out during a shift
• Unclear on the exact rule for a situation
• Pressure from supervisors or coworkers to move faster
• Uniforms aren't laundered often enough

Thinking about workplace hygiene, which of these matters most for keeping customers or patients safe, and which matters least?

• Handwashing frequency and technique
• Glove use and changing
• Clean, well-maintained uniforms
• Hair restraints and jewelry rules
• Staying home when sick
• Surface and equipment cleaning
• Access to soap, sanitizer, and PPE

How would you rate the hygiene supplies and facilities provided at your workplace (soap, sanitizer stations, gloves, laundry service)?

When were you last trained or refreshed on hygiene procedures for your role?

• Within the last month
• 1-3 months ago
• 4-6 months ago
• More than 6 months ago
• I don't recall being trained

Reconstruct one specific, recent moment when the respondent skipped, rushed, or improvised on a hygiene step — what was happening at the time, exactly what got in the way (time pressure, missing supplies, unclear rules, social pressure), and what would have made it easier to do it right. If they claim they never skip any step, gently probe a high-pressure scenario (rush period, understaffed shift) to test that. Anchor follow-ups on whatever barrier they selected as most disruptive.

Which best describes your role?

• Front-of-house / customer-facing
• Kitchen / food prep
• Clinical / patient care
• Cleaning / janitorial
• Supervisor or manager
• Other (Replace with your own role categories)
• Prefer not to say

How long have you worked in this role?

• Less than 6 months
• 6 months to 2 years
• 2-5 years
• More than 5 years
• Prefer not to say

That's everything — thank you for the honesty. Your answers feed into a report on where hygiene supplies, training, or scheduling need to change, not into any individual review.
