Study Notes
Food Safety Protocols
- Food handlers with cuts must wear watertight bandages and gloves to prevent contamination.
- Proper training for employees includes skills in cooling methods, cooking temperatures, and sanitizing surfaces, but not supplier identification by price and quality.
Employee Training and Monitoring
- Regularly assess staff behavior; instruct employees who interact with animals or smoke to ensure hygiene standards are maintained.
- Effective hand washing should be emphasized regardless of staff experience or training.
Personal Hygiene Standards
- Hair restraints are vital to prevent hair from coming into contact with food, reducing cross-contamination risk.
- Proper hand washing takes at least 20 seconds to ensure thorough cleaning.
Employment and Health Disclosures
- Candidates with HIV should be considered disabled, allowing for employment while ensuring safety and compliance with legal standards.
First Aid Supplies Management
- Colorful bandages in first aid kits aid in visibility, reducing the risk of contamination from falling supplies.
Contamination Prevention
- Employees must avoid touching sensitive areas such as mouths and noses to minimize spreading Staphylococcus aureus.
- Immediate corrective actions are essential for food handlers if they use hand sanitizers instead of washing hands, wear inappropriate jewelry, or change food types with the same apron.
Cross-Contamination Awareness
- Handlers, even when using gloves, can cause cross-contamination by transferring allergens or raw food contaminants to cooked foods; training and monitoring in food preparation processes are critical.
