Study Notes
Risk Management Definitions & Components
- Risk management systematically identifies, assesses, and controls potential threats to organizational objectives.
- It minimizes negative event impacts and maximizes opportunities.
- Key actions include administration, direction, command, regulation, and governance.
Key Terminologies
- Risk: The likelihood of a hazard causing harm and the severity of that harm, defined by probability and potential consequences.
- Hazard: A source of potential harm; examples include slippery floors and faulty equipment.
- Likelihood: Probability of an event occurring, categorized as "high," "medium," or "low."
- Impact: Potential consequences of a risk, measured by financial loss, reputation damage, or operational disruption.
Risk Management Components
- Risk Identification: Recognizing potential threats and opportunities.
- Risk Assessment: Evaluating the likelihood and impact of identified risks.
- Risk Prioritization: Determining the order for addressing risks.
- Risk Treatment: Managing risks through avoidance, mitigation, transfer, or acceptance.
- Risk Monitoring and Review: Continuously evaluating and tracking risks.
Risk Treatment Strategies
- Risk Mitigation: Reducing the impact or probability of a risk.
- Risk Transfer: Shifting the responsibility of a risk to another party.
- Risk Acceptance: Choosing to live with the risk consequences.
Types of Workplace Hazards
- Chemical Hazards: Exposure to harmful chemicals in any form.
- Physical Hazards: Environmental factors that can harm without direct contact.
- Ergonomic Hazards: Strain from work types, positions, and conditions.
- Psychological Hazards: Stressors affecting mental health from workplace issues.
Food Safety & Sanitation
- Food: Any substance for consumption, including drinks and condiments.
- Safety: Ensures food is fit to consume, protecting against harm.
- Sanitation: Practices for maintaining hygienic conditions.
- Microorganism: Living organisms invisible to the naked eye; pathogens can cause illness.
Food Safety Practices
- Aimed at preventing foodborne illness through proper handling, storage, and cooking.
- Foodborne Illnesses: Classified as infection, intoxication, or toxin-mediated infection.
Costs of Foodborne Illness
- For Individuals: Potential health risks, increased medical expenses, loss of income, and productivity.
- For Establishments: Loss of customers, lawsuits, reputation damage, and employee turnover.
Symptoms of Foodborne Illness
- Common symptoms include headache, nausea, vomiting, dehydration, and abdominal pain.
Highly Susceptible Individuals
- Infants, elderly, pregnant women, chronically ill persons, and those with disabilities are at greater risk.
Strategies to Avoid Foodborne Illness
- Clean: Wash hands and sanitize surfaces frequently.
- Separate: Prevent cross-contamination by keeping raw and cooked foods apart.
- Cook: Ensure foods reach safe internal temperatures.
- Chill: Prompt refrigeration and safe thawing methods.
Food Contamination
- Occurs when harmful substances or organisms contaminate food; can originate at any stage from farm to table.
- Contamination can be biological (microorganisms), chemical (toxins), or physical.
Causes of Food Contamination
- Improper handling and personal hygiene, contamination from pests, and use of unapproved food sources.
Cross-Contamination
- Transfer of bacteria between surfaces or foods, often caused by improper sanitation and handling.
Color-Coded Cutting Boards
- Brown: Cooked meats
- Red: Raw meats
- Blue: Raw fish, seafood
- White: Bakery, pastries, dairy
