Study Notes

Personal Hygiene

Fingernails should be clean, trimmed neatly, and relatively short to prevent microorganisms from hiding.
Remove jewelry, as it can be a safety hazard for the food handler and provide a hiding place for microorganisms.
Sneeze or cough into your sleeve to avoid direct contamination.
Always wear clean clothes to work, restrain your hair with a hairnet or hat, and wear a clean apron.
Shoes should be closed-toe with non-slip soles, appropriate to the workplace.

General Housekeeping

Every item has a proper storage location, and if you're unsure, ask.
Put items back in their proper place after use, and report any broken or non-functional items.
Dirt, dust, and debris are harmful to safety and health, so clean up or move them aside.
If you spill or drop a fluid on the floor, clean it up or use absorbent materials.
Never block fire exits, fire pull alarms, doorways, aisles, and electrical breakers.

Cleaning and Sanitizing

All surfaces that come into contact with food must be sanitized.
Sanitize counters, refrigerators, ovens, and any other surface that comes into contact with food during storage, preparation, cooking, serving, and holding.
Clean and sanitize dishes, cutlery, and equipment regularly to prevent food residue from building up.
At the end of the Food Lab, complete tasks such as putting away unused ingredients, disposing of prepared food, and cleaning/sanitizing counters and stove tops.

Dishwashing

Scrape or rinse off leftover food, apply friction, and use warm water and detergent to scrub leftover food/grease.
Rinse with hot water to remove soap and bits of food.
Submerge dishes in sanitizer for at least 45 seconds, and let items air dry on corrosion-resistant racks.

Handwashing and Hygiene

Food service workers have direct contact with food and are often the cause of contamination and foodborne illnesses.
Practice good grooming habits, including washing your hands whenever they are potentially contaminated.
Wash your hands before starting work, after breaks, and after handling raw foods, touching your face, hair, or body, and using the restroom.
Follow the proper hand-washing procedure: wet forearms and hands, apply soap, rub hands and arms for 20 seconds, clean fingernails, rinse thoroughly, and dry hands and arms with separate paper towels.
