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.
