wedding rings

As always, read your terms of employment - preferably before you sign up to them!

you are allowed to wear a 'plain band' wedding ring in food handling situations, as it is classed as a religious symbol. itis also part of a contractual undertaking in law...........
the advice about wearing rings with plasters over the top is not strictly correct or incorrect;
the risk is still there that pieces of jewellery can enter the food chain, food particles could become trapped and then fester and return to the food chain from the jewellery/ plaster.
the issue of wearing gloves to serve food is also, in my opinion, not valid.
people in food handling environments who wear gloves do not regularly change those gloves, as they are expensive and are normally discouraged by management from doing so, and are most definately not changed as often as people would wash their hands if they were not wearing gloves.
the whole jewellery thing in fod areas is a simple one;
NO jewellery unless it is a plain wedding band.
plasters are for covering wounds..................

True, but I for one would not remove my wedding ring for any Policy.

In the NHS, Policy allows one wedding band ring, no stones, due to the risk of infection and also safety when moving and handling patients.

From a hygeine point of view you could wear any ring you want, if there are stones or sharp edges use blue fabric tape over them to stop the gloves being torn.
But if your company policy bans the wearing of rings then you should abide with that policy.

hello

as long as there are no stones in it then yes

Are you allowed to wear wedding rings if you work with food, bearing in mind you wear two pairs of gloves?
