Study Notes
Floor Mats and Flooring
- Floor mats are made of rubber, neoprene, or solid/sponge vinyl, and are greaseproof with a texture that's not too hard.
- Public entrances require mats that can trap incoming snow, ice, moisture, or mud, and are usually 3/8" thick or ½" or ¾" thick in areas with heavy foot traffic.
- Unglazed quarry tile is a popular choice for flooring, while glazed aggregate or nonskid floor surfaces can also be used.
- Monolithic floors are made of epoxy, polyester, urethane, or magnesite cement, and are poured all at once.
- Composite sheet vinyl, such as Hubbelite, is a compound mixture of cement, copper, limestone, magnesium, and other ingredients.
Sanitation and Safety
- Sanitizing involves treating equipment and utensils after basic cleaning to kill germs and bacteria.
- The National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF) sets voluntary standards and tests and certifies products and systems.
- Antimicrobials, such as silver ions, ozone, chlorine dioxide, and nano-antibiotic mother granule, can naturally retard bacteria growth.
- Fungus and mold growth can occur in areas with persistent moisture, and can trigger allergies and asthma.
- Fungus and mold can cause irritating effects, such as burning sensations in the eyes and nose, coughing, and skin irritation.
Ergonomics
- Ergonomics is an applied science that involves designing or arranging activities to be done in the safest and most efficient manner.
- Ergonomics in foodservice design involves planning easy entrance and exit from facilities, and placing public areas to make service easier.
- Ergonomics also involves designing specific work areas to facilitate safer or more sanitary work, and finding alternatives to repetitive tasks or heavy lifting.
Fire Safety and Prevention
- One-third of all restaurant fires originate in the kitchen, and are often flash fires on cooking equipment.
- Prevention steps include controlling ignitable sources and combustible materials.
- Fire safety inspections are necessary before a fire insurance policy, and should be re-inspected every 6 months.
- The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) provides codes and standards for fire safety.
Employee Comfort and Safety
- Slips and falls can occur due to wet floors, icy sidewalks, or climbing ladders or steps.
- Bumps and bruises can occur due to dropping things, bumping into things, or mid-aisle collisions.
- Back injuries can occur due to moving and handling heavy equipment and bulk supplies.
- Cuts can occur due to knives, electric slices, and sharp kitchen tools.
- Burns can occur due to hot oil, hot water, cooking process, or dishwashing.
Work Environment and Equipment
- A safe kitchen work environment requires noise control, adequate lighting, temperature control, and removal of stale air.
- Foodservice workers spend about 90 percent of their time on their feet, and work surfaces should be adjusted to the correct height to prevent bending.
- Wheeled carts or hand trucks should be used to move heavy or bulky supplies.
- Kitchen equipment should be kept clean and well maintained, and used according to the instruction manual or owner's manual.
- Safety guards should be used if they are part of the equipment, and equipment should be unplugged before adjusting or repairing.
