Study Notes

Food Safety Management System

  • Private water sources, like wells, require annual testing for safety.

  • Backflow occurs when water flows in the opposite direction due to pressure changes.

Cross-Connections and Contamination

  • A cross-connection is the link between safe drinking water and contaminated sources.

  • A hose left in dirty water (e.g., utility-sink faucet) can contaminate the water supply, confirming the importance of proper connections.

Handwashing and Water Temperature

  • Hot water at handwashing stations must be at least 100°F (38°C) to ensure effective sanitation.

  • Handwashing stations are essential in dishwashing and service areas to maintain hygiene standards.

Equipment Installation and Lighting

  • Tabletop equipment must have a clearance of at least 4 inches (10 centimeters) from the tabletop.

  • Food-preparation areas need a maximum of 50 foot-candles (540 lux) of light for optimal visibility; a minimum of 20 foot-candles (215 lux) is required in various other areas like handwashing stations and buffets.

Ventilation and Backflow Prevention

  • Grease accumulation on ceilings indicates poor ventilation, posing health risks.

  • The most effective method to prevent backflow is creating an air gap between water sources.

NSF Certification and Dishwasher Information

  • Equipment meeting safety standards will display the NSF mark for assurance of compliance.

  • Key information to post near dishwashers includes water temperature, conveyor speed, and water pressure.

Potable Water Sources and Waste Management

  • Potable water can come from sources like water transport vehicles.

  • Outdoor garbage containers should always be covered with tight-fitting lids to prevent contamination and pest attraction.
