Hey folks!
When I started at my facility, about 6 months ago, we had a procedure in place for hairnets.
It was that if you are wearing a hat, you must wear a hairnet under the hat, covering your hair, and then an additional hair net over the hat as well. I have been calling this the "hat sandwich".
We are having difficulty with GMPs at our facility, so I am trying to reboot the training, and make a program that is easy for folks to follow, etc.
I keep thinking about this hat sandwich situation. Is it necessary? If someone's hairnet can cover both the hat and all of their hair, is this not just a waste of a hairnet? Additionally, employees question why the hat sandwich is required, if the hairnet covers both the hat and the hair. And honestly, I don't really know what to tell them. I've said, "It's a policy that was in place when I arrived here, and I am looking into it currently". Because it makes no sense to me.
Can someone explain this to me like I'm 5? Because I feel like the only reason you should wear an additional hairnet, is if everything is not being covered. That's a given.
I tried to find some validation on it in my predecessor's office, but it's pure chaos in there, which is a gripe for another day haha.
Thanks!
