Study Notes
Construction and Design
- Consult regulatory authority before starting new construction or major remodels.
- Regulatory review of plans ensures compliance with requirements, promotes safe food flow, saves time and money, and verifies contractor adherence.
Kitchen Design Factors
- A well-designed kitchen addresses workflow, reduces contamination risks, and ensures equipment accessibility.
Interior Construction Materials
- Select materials for ease of cleaning, maintenance, sound absorption, grease/moisture resistance, and light reflection.
Kitchen Flooring
- Ideal flooring is smooth, durable, nonabsorbent, easy to clean, wear resistant, and slip resistant.
- Nonabsorbent flooring is essential in areas like walk-ins, prep, food storage zones, dishwashing areas, restrooms, and locker rooms.
- Resiliency in flooring means it can absorb shocks without damage. Vinyl or rubber tiles are recommended for nonporous and resilient flooring.
- Carpet is suitable for dining areas due to its sound-absorbing properties.
Wall and Storage Areas
- Use light-colored ceramic tiles for cooking area walls for easier dirt detection.
- Dry-storage areas should consist of easy-to-clean materials, effective air circulation, and be made from corrosion-resistant metal or food-grade plastic.
- Avoid placing steam pipes and water lines in dry-storage areas due to the risk of pathogen growth from leaks.
Handwashing Stations
- Required in restrooms, near food prep, service, and dishwashing areas.
- Must provide hot and cold running water, soap, hand drying methods, waste containers, and signage.
Restroom Standards
- Restrooms must be hygienic, equipped with self-closing doors, toilet paper, and properly placed waste bins.
Outdoor and Equipment Materials
- Recommended materials for walkways and parking lots include asphalt and concrete.
- The NSF establishes national standards for foodservice equipment, requiring materials to be nonabsorbent, smooth, and corrosion-resistant.
Dishwashing Operations
- Common dishwashing machines include stationary-rack, conveyor, carousel, flight-type, batch-type, and non-dump machines.
- Installation should prioritize accessibility and minimize the length of water pipes to retain heat.
Equipment Installation Guidelines
- Walk-in units should be sealed against moisture and pest access.
- Reach-in units must be elevated six inches off the ground or sealed on a masonry base.
- Cutting boards and baking tables should be made from nonabsorbent hardwood like maple or oak.
Water Safety
- Drinkable water can come from approved public mains, private sources, portable containers, or water transport vehicles.
- Cross-connections pose a significant threat to water safety, introducing contaminants.
Backflow Prevention
- Backflow occurs when contaminants flow back into the drinkable water supply due to pressure changes.
- Prevent backflow by avoiding cross-connections; an air gap can provide an effective barrier against contamination.
Sewage Backup Protocol
- Close affected areas immediately if sewage backs up; address and clean the issue to ensure food safety.
Lighting Requirements
- Lighting intensity is measured in foot-candles; prep areas should maintain no less than 50 foot-candles.
- Areas like handwashing stations, dishwashing areas, and food displays require at least 20 foot-candles of light.
- Walk-in coolers and freezer units must also meet the 20 foot-candle standard.
Ventilation Systems
- Non-functioning ventilation units result in grease and condensation buildup on walls and ceilings, creating sanitation issues.
