Handwashing stations must always be posted with signs that

• A. Instruct workers on how to sanitize surfaces.
• B. Remind employees to wash hands.
• C. Provide directions for handwashing technique.
• D. Explain allergen control procedures.

Answer: (B)

Signs at handwashing stations are there to remind workers to wash their hands, reinforcing a basic hygiene habit at critical moments to prevent contamination. They serve as a visual cue to prompt handwashing after activities like using the restroom, handling raw foods, or touching waste. Signs that instruct on how to sanitize surfaces, provide detailed handwashing steps, or explain allergen procedures belong in other contexts or locations, not as the primary message at the sink. So the reminder to wash hands is the most appropriate purpose for these signs.
