Assessment Conditions
Unit purpose/application

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to handle food safely
during the storage, preparation, display, service and disposal of food. It requires the ability to follow
predetermined procedures as outlined in a food safety program.
The unit applies to all organisations with permanent or temporary kitchen premises or smaller food
preparation areas. This includes restaurants, cafes, clubs, and hotels; tour operators; attractions;
function, event, exhibition and conference catering; educational institutions; aged care facilities;
correctional centres; hospitals; defence forces; cafeterias, kiosks, canteens and fast food outlets;
residential catering; in-flight and other transport catering.
Safe food handling practices are based on an organisation’s individual food safety program. The
program would normally be based on the hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP)
method, but this unit can apply to other food safety systems.
It applies to food handlers who directly handle food during the course of their daily work activities.
This includes cooks, chefs, caterers, kitchen hands and food and beverage attendants.
Food handlers must comply with the requirements contained within the Australia New Zealand Food
Standards Code.
In some States and Territories businesses are required to designate a food safety supervisor who is
required to be certified as competent in this unit through a registered training organisation.
Food safety legislative and knowledge requirements may differ across borders. Those developing
training to support this unit must consult the relevant state or territory food safety authority to
determine any accreditation arrangements for courses, trainers and assessors.

Academic integrity, plagiarism and collusion

Academic Integrity
Academic Integrity is about the honest presentation of your academic work. It means acknowledging
the work of others while developing your own insights, knowledge and ideas.
As a student, youare required to:
• Undertake studies and research responsibly and with honesty and integrity
• Ensure that academic work is in no way falsified
• Seek permission to use the work of others, where required
• Acknowledge the work of others appropriately
• Take reasonable steps to ensure other students cannot copy or misuse yourwork.

Plagiarism
Plagiarism means to take and use another person's ideas and or manner of expressing them and to
pass them off as your own by failing to give appropriate acknowledgement. This includes material
sourced from the internet, RTO staff, other students, and from published and unpublished work.
Plagiarism occurs when you fail to acknowledge that the ideas or work of others arebeing used,

Collusion
Collusion means unauthorised collaboration on assessable work (written, oral or practical) with
other people. This occurs when a student presents group work as their own or as the work of
someone else.
Collusion may be with another RTO student or with individuals or students external to the RTO. This
applies to work assessed by any educational and training body in Australia or overseas.
Collusion occurs when youwork without the authorisation of the teaching staff to:
• Work with one or more people to prepare and produce work
• Allow others to copy your work or share your answer to an assessment task
• Allow someone else to write or edit yourwork (without rto approval)
• Write or edit work for another student
• Offer to complete work or seek payment for completing academic work for other students.

Assessment Task 1 - Unit Knowledge Test (UKT)
Instructions:
• This is an individual assessment.
• The purpose of this assessment task is to assess the students’ knowledge essential to
participate in safe food handling practices in a range of contexts and industry settings.
• To make full and satisfactory responses you should consult a range of learning resources,
other information such as handouts and textbooks, learners’ resources and slides.
• All questions must be answeredin order to gain competency for this assessment.

Question 1: What is the importance of the food safety program? Write your answer in 100-150
words.

A food safety program is a written plan that implicates the rules a business must comply to ensure
that the food that is being served is safe for the customers to consume without any fear of risks or
potential hazards. it an effective and helpful tool to help restaurants safely process, handle, or make
monetary exchange for the products that could be harmful for the people, it is mandatory to help
protect people’s health.

Question 2: How you can access and use the relevant information from organisational food safety
program? Write your answer in 50-100 words.

Theres a lot of purposes and methods that is applied by the food safety program and should be
practiced in the workplace to avoid any hazards associated with food handling in the workplace. The
acts and regulations can be access via the Food Authority website (the URL defers depending on
which state you are in).

Question 3: Discuss the steps to follow policies and procedures in food safety program? Write your
answer in 100-150 words.

Unit Name: SITXFSA006 - Participate in safe food handling practices


Page | 13
Below are some mandatory information that has to be included in the food safety programs, they
are:
• hazard identification: identifying the hazards in the workplace be regularly talking and
keeping yourself on board with any new incident in the workplace
• hazard control: understanding which method works best to solve the said hazard
• monitoring: the systematic monitoring of the controls
• corrective action
• review
• record keeping: maintain an incident report

Question 4: How will you control the food hazards at critical control points? Write your answer in
100-150 words.

Maintaining the hazard and controlling your steps to help minimize the exposure of the said
potential risk to the customer is non negligible to avoid hefty fines, so understanding that hazard
identification and learning how to adapt to changes to avoid any future incidents is one of the main
tasks as a food handler according to the food safety law.

An example might help you assess the situation better:


Let us think that we work in a very busy restaurant in the middle of the city, and it is lunch shift a
customer specifically ordered a Caesar salad without any peanuts in is to maintain her allergen
requirement, now the salad leaves are usually kept next to the nuts and so when serves the lady had
a severe reaction and is now threatening to call her lawyers and report our organization.
Now, this situation could have been avoided if the proper measure were adhered on to the
workplace, i.e.: storing food separately to avoid cross contamination.

Unit Name: SITXFSA006 - Participate in safe food handling practices


Page | 14
Question 5: Define the steps to complete the food safety monitoring processes? Write your answer
in 100-150 words.

As aforementioned it is very important to monitor the workplace to make sure all the changes that
have been made are being followed and communicated to the staff effectively, monitoring at every
step with the rules established via HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) there are seven
basic principles that meet the stated goal:
• conduct a hazard analysis
• identify control points
• establish critical limits
• establish monitoring procedures
• established new methods of approaching
• verify procedure the help the employees get their training
• keep regular incident reports

Unit Name: SITXFSA006 - Participate in safe food handling practices


Page | 15
Question 6: How will you identify and report the non-conforming practices?Write your answer in
100-150 words.

There will be times when the policies that have been agreed on previously is not being followed by
the staff or is not reaching the state where the situation has been handled efficiently. In those cases,
it is important that the managers are able to identify those non-conforming ahead of time to be able
to tackle it proficiently without causing any losses for the business. For example: the oven mitts that
are used in the café for baking muffins has been wearing out, and the employees have failed to let
the manager know to buy a new one, an employee burned his hand while on duty. New rules have
been established to let the superiors know one month before the gloves start looking risky, but the
employees failed to do so again.
It is the manager’s’ duty to ensure workplace safety but it is important for everyone to be able to
work with each other, better communication has to be practices on site and staff must go through
intensive training before they are allowed back on site.

Question 7: What actions you must consider for incidents where food hazards are not controlled?
Write your answer in 100-150 words.

A few examples of preventative corrective actions: repairing broken equipment, throwing out food
that’s showing sign of rotting, transferring unrefrigerated perishable items into cold storage, etc.
A few actions must be taken if some incidents end up recurring and is out of control:
Stop the line or process and separate affected products.
Adjust process to bring the CCP under control and correct cause of risks
Document and record the steps taken
Consult with food safety authorities or any other organization deemed appropriate.

Unit Name: SITXFSA006 - Participate in safe food handling practices


Page | 16
Question 8: Write down the selection process of the food storage conditions for specific food type?
Write your answer in 50-100 words.

• keep perishable food items stored at/ below 5 degrees Celsius or above 60 degrees
to avoid the temperature danger
• store raw food below cooked food
• store food suitable, covered airtight containers
• avoid refreezing thawed food

Question 9: Discuss why and how to store food in environmental conditions for quality purposes?
Write your answer in 150-200 words.
Storing food is a traditional skill that has been used for decades after decades in times where there is
abundant supply to prepare for time when there is a scarce source of supply in the market.
The best range for food storage is a constant temperature between 40-60 degrees. avoid freezing
fresh foods, like fruits, veggies, spices.
Keep high-risk food 5<Celsius>60 to avoid food poisoning and avoid being a potential risk in the
workplace. take special care with high-risk foods. such as raw and cooked meat like chicken and
minced meat and food containing them, like pot pies, schnitzel, etc.

Unit Name: SITXFSA006 - Participate in safe food handling practices


Page | 17
Question 10: What is the importance of the controlling temperature in storing food?Write your
answer in 100-150 words.

Food that are easily prone to going bad or potentially hazardous need to be kept at a constant
temperature to avoid food-poisoning bacteria from multiplying to dangerous levels. the temperature
where the bacteria gets the room to grow is between (5-60) degrees Celsius. controlling the
temperature of the food is extremely important in deeming to food safe to consume, proper steps
must be taken to ensure that the food is always prepared, cooked, chilled, or served properly to
minimize the risk if harmful levels of bacteria in the food that you sell.

Question 11: What is correct method to store food at controlled temperatures? Write your answer
in 100-150 words.

Potentially hazardous food that need to be stored at controlled temperatures include cold meats,
cold cooked chicken, etc. The AFSC states the below processes to apply to store the potentially
hazardous items at these correct temperatures:
1) If the food is sold cold, it must be store in a temperature below 5 degrees, e.g.: sandwiches,
salads
2) Food on display must be kept in a refrigerated condition to maintain quality
3) if the food display is meant to be sold fresh and hot, the temperature needs to be between
60-70 degrees, for example: service station selling fried food like: chicken nuggets, chippies,
etc.

Unit Name: SITXFSA006 - Participate in safe food handling practices

Question 12: How will you use cooling and heating processes that support microbiological safety of
food? Write your answer in 150-200 words.

The main step of learning to maintain a proper temperature to avoid the food from becoming a risk
to the customers is extremely important.

When heating up cold food stored below 5 degrees is being prepared make sure it reaches an
internal core temperature of 70 degrees Celsius for two minutes to avoid serving frozen food that
contains many potential risks.

Cool food safely to 21 degrees Celsius in two hours and then to less than 5 degrees Celsius within a
further 4 hours, this is the most effective and safe way to thaw frozen food out before they are
ready to be prepared/served.

Question 13: Discuss the importance of monitoring food temperature during preparation using
appropriate temperature measuring device? Write your answer in 50-100 words.

Unit Name: SITXFSA006 - Participate in safe food handling practices

In Australia any restaurant owner of food handler must have a working thermometer in the kitchen
to measure food temperatures, it must be made available at all. time and used regularly. it is a legal
obligation to not keep the thermometer in an inaccessible place, safety check must be made
regularly to ensure the thermometer is working properly.

Question 14: What are the steps taken to protect the food from any contamination to ensure safety
of the food items? Write your answer in 100-150 words.

There must be step taken to ensure cross contamination doesn’t occur to protect customers’
health, I’ve noted some steps below:
Use clean utensils, plates, or containers to prevent cook food from being nixed up with raw
food.
Use gloves where you really need to mix with hands, otherwise use clean equipment pick up
food rather than hands.
Wear clean clothes.
Wash your fruits and veggies that are meant to be eaten raw under running water.

Question 15: How will you store, display, and provide single use items to protect from damage and
contamination? Write your answer in 50-100 words.

The main way to ensure that food is kept safe using single-use items includes: protecting the
single use item with packaging or a container; using dispensers that will allow only the
customers who will use the item to touch it; also make sure to store the said iem from
cleaning supplies to help prevent contaminating the item with hazardous chemical fumes.

Case Study

Under Standard 3.2.2 Food Safety Practices and General Requirements, the owners of food
businesses are responsible for making sure that people who handle food or food contact surfaces in
their business, and the people who supervise this work, have the skills and knowledge they need to
handle food safely.
The only exception to this requirement is for charitable or community fundraising events, which sell
food that is not potentially hazardous or that will be properly cooked and then eaten straightaway.
The skills and knowledge requirement was included in the standard to ensure that staff handle food
correctly and that it remains safe to eat.

Unit Name: SITXFSA006 - Participate in safe food handling practices


Page | 33
Food handlers must have the skills and knowledge that they need to handle food safely as they carry
out the work that they are responsible for. They do not need skills and knowledge for other jobs in
the business. For example, in a catering business, someone who makes sandwiches will need skills
and knowledge that are quite different from the skills and knowledge needed by someone who does
the cleaning for the business.
However, if some staff help with other work when people are away, or sometimes supervise other
food handlers, then they must also have the skills and knowledge for this other work, as well as the
skills and knowledge to do their regular work.
Staff skills and knowledge must include food safety and food hygiene matters. Food safety issues
cover what staff must do to food to keep food safe. Food hygiene practices cover what staff must do
to keep things clean so they do not contaminate food.

Questions :

Question 1: What is included under Standard 3.2.2? Write your answer in 40-50 words.

Under standard 3.2.2 food safety practises and general requirements it is mandated any person
related to the workplace and who will come close to food handling areas or prepare food; that they
have been given the proper skills and knowledge training to do so to prevent any potential hazards.

Question 2: By reading the above given case, what do you mean by skill and knowledge?Write your
answer in 40-50 words.

By skill and knowledge according to the passage above they mean to say to understand the
processes that come with proper food handling safety, knowing how to apply them in real life to
avoid crisis situations, and learning how to properly communicate the methods to staff.

Unit Name: SITXFSA006 - Participate in safe food handling practices


Page | 34
Question 3: What must be included in staff skill and knowledge? Write your answer in 40-50 words.

Hygiene measure: it is very important for people handling food to understand the trivial issue that
can occur due to cross contamination via touching food after touching for one example of person to
food hazard.
Safely storing food in safe temperature for best and fresh quality and avoid food poisoning.

Question 4: Give an example of your own to show difference between food safety issues and food
hygiene practices.Write your answer in 100-150 words.

Food safety: is related to incidents where the site is holding potentially hazardous food,
e.g: raw meat, cold sliced meat, eggs, etc. an example to show the problem in real life in
shown in the scenario stated below: a café thaws out their ham outside just on the
countertops instead of thawing it out following the 2-hour 4-hour method, this caused the
cold sliced meat to turn grimy and that got served making a customer very sick.
food hygiene practises: as covid 19 happened the whole world had to take a second look
at their own hygiene measure, hands need to be washed very frequently and after being
exposed to any activities such as: smoking, using the toilet, etc. an example to showcase
better hygiene measures: using masks for employees when they come close to food to
avoid any exchange of germs to keep the customers feeling protected.

Question 5: Where is the exception included for Food Safety Practices and General Requirements?
Explain in two (2) or three (3) sentences.
All working sites that serve food must follow the rules adhered on by food safety practises except for
charitable organisations who don’t sell any potentially hazardous foods, and will be eaten and

Unit Name: SITXFSA006 - Participate in safe food handling practices


Page | 35
served right away, usually has no monetary gains.

Question 6: According to you, how one can ensure that staff have the skills and knowledge they
need for their work? Write your answer in 50-100 words.

Making sure the staff has proper training before they are allowed to be on shift is very important
for a manager to avoid any accidents in work; because as a novice employee they might not
have the proper knowledge and skill to do a certain task if it had not been shown to them before
by a supervisor. creating intensive training modules and providing on the job training for a
month is required for an employee to feel comfortable with the way the workplace works.
Helping to encourage asking for help when they don’t feel comfortable doing a task.
Establishing accessible communicative platforms to be able to reach out to ask question to
anyone simultaneously as needed.

Question 7: Why skills and knowledge was included in the standard? Explain in one (1) or two (2)
sentences.

The skills knowledge was included for food handlers to understand how to store, prepare and keep
handling food that is safe for consumption.
