Explanation:

1. Hand antiseptics mainly kill bacteria and some viruses on the skin surface using chemical agents like alcohol. Hand - soap works by physically removing dirt, oils, and microbes through the action of lathering and rinsing. Hand - soap is more important as it can remove a wider range of substances including visible dirt and some non - living contaminants, while antiseptics mainly target living microorganisms.
2. You can wash your hands in bathrooms, kitchens, near sinks in public places like restaurants and airports, and at mobile hand - washing stations.
3. After using the toilet, before eating, after handling raw meat, and after coughing or sneezing.
4. After handling potentially highly contaminated items such as garbage, raw sewage, or after being in a very dirty environment.
5. Gloves need to be changed after 4 hours of use because bacteria and other microorganisms can multiply inside the gloves over time, and the gloves may also become damaged or less effective at providing a barrier.
6. Gloves should be changed after handling raw meat and then moving on to handle ready - to - eat foods, after using the toilet while still wearing gloves, after coughing or sneezing into the gloves, and when the gloves are visibly soiled or damaged.
7. Bare hand contact with food is prohibited because hands can carry a large number of bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens that can contaminate the food and cause food - borne illnesses.

Answer:

1. Hand antiseptics use chemicals to kill microbes, hand - soap physically removes dirt and microbes. Hand - soap is more important for broader removal.
2. Bathrooms, kitchens, public places with sinks, mobile hand - washing stations.
3. After using toilet, before eating, after handling raw meat, after coughing/sneezing.
4. After handling highly contaminated items.

6. After handling raw meat then ready - to - eat foods, after using toilet with gloves on, after coughing/sneezing into gloves, when visibly soiled/damaged.
7. Hands carry pathogens that can contaminate food and cause illness.
