If this is due to cross contamination?

You're right. We also maintain a clean bucket and a towel nearby to be disinfected after each use.

Yes, because of cross-contamination. And it should be on the individual contracts for meat and vegetables. In general, the signs are used to color code, red for beef, lamb, pork, etc., yellow for chicken, blue for seafood, green for vegetables and white for everything else. Separate leaves are sometimes used, but not really necessary. Cutting boards are difficult, with a 100% certainty, since the disinfecting cuts left by knives that catch bacteria. Knives, however, tend to be easily disinfected, especially certified by NSF.

Yes Raw meat contains bacteria that are unpleasant neutralized (ie, death) for cooking the meat properly. Some vegetables raw or just hot. You can not come into contact with bacteria, the bad, because they are not cooked long enough - and if - to kill the bacteria sufficiently before serving. Therefore, all contained meat and vegetables is the safest way to go.
