Hello tutor, make sure you answer correctly and in details Differentiation between 'clean' and 'dirty' areas (black-white areas) avoids the spread of contamination in sectors such as waste management, farming and health care, but issues linked to work clothing may also be relevant to other occupations such as border staff and transport workers. This is relatively simple to organise and can be applied in many of the sectors/occupations that are considered of concern with regard to risks due to biological agents. While these measures may be implemented in healthcare or the food industry for other reasons (patient or food safety), for instance, they are not in other sectors and should be implemented in the agriculture or waste management sector, for instance.
