© Nova Institute of Technology V1.0 July 20

Performance objective:

You need answer all the questions using information given to you from class and fromyour

course material. Assessment description:

You must provide a response to all questions in assessment Questions section.

Assessment Questions:

Checkpoint
1

Question 1: What are the ramifications of failure to observe hygiene policies and procedures?
Failure to follow hygiene rules and regulations can have serious and far-reaching effects. Theymay

consist of:

● Foodborne disease: The most detrimental effect of improper hygiene habits is this.

Numerous symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and fever, can be broughton by

foodborne illness. Foodborne disease can sometimes be lethal.

● Lawsuits and penalties: Businesses must abide by rules enacted by the local, state, and

federal governments regarding food safety. Fines or even legal action may be imposedfor

breaking these regulations.

● Negative effects on the company's reputation: A company with a bad reputation for

cleanliness procedures is likely to lose clients. Sales and earnings may suffer as a resultof this.

● Employee health issues: People who work in filthy environments are more likely to

experience respiratory illnesses and skin infections.

● Poor hygiene habits can attract pests and rodents, which can taint food and spread disease. This

increases the risk of pests and rodents.

Businesses must create and maintain strong cleanliness rules and procedures and take food safety

seriously. By doing this, they may contribute to the protection of their reputation, customers, and staff.

Question 2: How does hygiene affect the image of a business, the service areas and staff ingeneral?

A business's image is greatly influenced by hygiene. Customers and clients get a favorable first

impression of a business that is clean and well-maintained. It demonstrates the professionalism and

consideration of the company for its clients. On the other side, a messy or untidy business may convey the

impression that it is unprofessional and doesn't care about itsclients.

Additionally crucial to hygiene are the service sections of a firm. For the health and safety of
both customers and employees, a clean and sanitary service area is crucial. Additionally, it promotes a

welcoming environment for clients. Customers may feel uneasy and frightened in a messy or cluttered

service area.

Finally, a business's employees need to practice good hygiene. Customers and clients are impressed by

employees who are tidy and well-groomed. They also contribute to the development of a productive and

expert workplace. Customers may feel uneasy and the reputation of the company may suffer if employees

are messy or untidy.

Question 3: Explain how improper food safety practices pose a potential risk for foodpoisoning for the

following areas?

1. Fruit and Vegetables:

● Avoid extensive fruit and vegetable washing E. coli, Salmonella, and Listeria are just a few of

the dangerous germs that can contaminate fruit and vegetables. If the fruit and vegetables are

not washed before eating, these bacteria may cause food poisoning.

● Refusing to peel fruits and vegetables Cucumbers and cantaloupes are two examples of

products with thick skin that may contain hazardous microorganisms. When a fruit or vegetable

is chopped, these bacteria can be transported to the meat, which can result infood poisoning.

● Improperly storing fruits and vegetables To stop the development of hazardous

bacteria, produce should be stored at the right temperature. For instance, tomatoes should be

kept at room temperature whereas leafy greens should be kept in the refrigerator.

2. Temperature Control:

● Not cooking food to the recommended temperature: In order to destroy hazardous bacteria, food

must be cooked to the recommended temperature. As an illustration, beef must be cooked to an

internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit and chicken must be cooked to a minimum of 165

degrees Fahrenheit.
● Food that has been prepared and then reheated needs to be heated to a temperature high enough

to kill any potentially hazardous germs that may have formed. For instance, the internal

temperature of leftovers should be raised to 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

● food not being kept at the correct temperature: To stop hazardous bacteria from

growing on food, it is important to preserve it at the right temperature. For instance, perishable

foods should be kept in the freezer or refrigerator.

3. Cross Contamination:

● utilizing the same cutting board for produce and raw meat, poultry, and seafood: If the same

cutting board is used for both products and raw meat, poultry, or shellfish, harmful

bacteria from those sources can spread to the latter. The result could be food poisoning.

● using dirty utensils after handling fresh chicken, seafood, or meat If utensils are not

cleaned after handling raw meat, poultry, or shellfish, harmful bacteria might spread to other

foods. The result could be food poisoning.

● Using unwashed hands after handling raw poultry, seafood, or meat: If hands aren't

cleansed after handling raw meat, poultry, or shellfish, harmful bacteria from those meals can

spread to other foods. The result could be food poisoning.

4. Pests:

● Allowing vermin and insects, such as rats, to access the area where food is prepared: Food

poisoning can result from hazardous microorganisms that pests can introduce into food.

● Improper food waste disposal Pests drawn to food waste can contaminate food and

spread disease.

5. Cleaning Procedures:

● Not adequately cleaning the surfaces, tools, and utensils used in food preparation:
Harmful germs can live on surfaces, tools, and utensils used for food preparation. These

surfaces, pieces of equipment and eating implements can contaminate food and cause food

poisoning if they are not cleaned thoroughly.

● Not adequately cleaning the space where food is prepared: Bacteria that are dangerous

to humans can be found in the kitchen. Food contamination and food poisoning can result from

improperly cleaned food preparation areas.

Question 4: Which legislation governs correct food handling processes in Australia andNew

Zealand and how can you access information related to this legislation?

The Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) organization oversees food safety in Australia and

New Zealand. FSANZ is a statutory organization that creates food safety regulations and standards for

Australia and New Zealand.

The primary law governing food safety in Australia and New Zealand is the Australia-New Zealand

Food Standards Code (the Code). The Code specifies the standards for food labeling, composition,

handling, safety, and primary production in Australia. In Victoria, the Food Act of 1984 governs the

application and enforcement of the Code.

The public can access the Code on the FSANZ website. By selecting the "Food Standards" tab and the

"Food Standards Code" link, anyone can access the Code.

Question 5: What do the food acts outline and how is this governed at state and territory

and local government levels?


The Food Act spells out the guidelines and specifications for food production, sales, and distribution in

Australia. State and territorial governments are in charge of these acts, and they differ from one state to

the next. A few provisions are present in all Food Acts, though, and are common to all of them. These

typical clauses include:

● Food safety requirements: The requirements that food must follow in order to be safe

for human consumption are outlined in the Food Acts. These requirements cover thingslike food

composition, handling, and storage procedures, as well as food labeling.

● Enforcement of food safety regulations: The Food Acts allow state and territorial

governments the authority to impose food safety regulations. This includes the authority to

examine food establishments, impose warnings and fines, and bring legal action against

organizations that break the law.

● Food safety instruction: This is another provision of the Food Act. For corporations and

the general population, this includes creating educational programs on food safety.

Checkpoint 2

Question 6: Workplace hygiene procedures encompass four main areas. What are the key

requirements for the following aspects to meet typical requirements in an organisation?

1. Personal hygiene

● Hand washing: Before and after handling meals, using the restroom, and changing diapers, staff

members should thoroughly wash their hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

● Employees are expected to maintain clean, debris-free hair, nails, and clothing.

● Sickness: If an employee is sick, they should not come to work.

2. Food safety

● Food handling: Staff members should handle food in a safe manner by abiding by the
rules, such as washing their hands, using gloves, and using clean utensils.

● Food preservation: To stop the formation of microorganisms, food must be preservedcorrectly

at the appropriate temperatures.

● Food preparation: Food should be properly prepared by using the correct cooking timesand

temperatures.

3. Cleaning

● Work surfaces: To stop the growth of bacteria, work surfaces should be cleaned andsanitized

often.

● Equipment: To stop the transmission of bacteria, equipment needs to be cleaned andsanitized

frequently.

● Waste: To stop the spread of bacteria, waste needs to be properly disposed of.

4. Training

● Employees need to receive proper hygiene training. Topics including personal hygiene, food

safety, cleaning, and trash disposal ought to be covered in this training.

● There should be regular training sessions. This will make sure that workers are knowledgeable

about the most recent hygiene practices.

● Training needs to be customized to the organization's unique requirements. This will make sure

that workers are properly trained in the precise processes needed for their job.

Question 7: What do the food acts outline and how is this governed at state and territory andlocal

government levels?

The Food Act spells out the guidelines and specifications for food production, sales, and distribution in

Australia. State and territorial governments are in charge of these acts, and they differ from one state to

the next. A few provisions are present in all Food Acts, though, and arecommon to all of them.

These typical clauses include:

● Standards for food safety: The Food Acts outline the requirements that food must follow in order

to be safe for eating by humans. These requirements cover things like food composition,

handling, and storage procedures, as well as food labeling.

● Enforcement of food safety regulations: The Food Acts allow state and territorial

governments the authority to impose food safety regulations. This includes the authority to

examine food establishments, impose warnings and fines, and bring legal action against

organizations that break the law.

● Food safety instruction: This is another provision of the Food Act. For corporations and

the general population, this includes creating educational programs on food safety.

Question 8: Provide five (5) examples for poor organisational hygiene practices?

Following are five instances of subpar organizational hygiene procedures:

● improper training of those who handle food. Food handlers need to receive training in safe food

handling techniques, such as handwashing, preventing cross-contamination, and maintaining

food safety temperatures.

● Poor cleaning and sanitation techniques. To stop the spread of bacteria, food contact

surfaces, tools, and utensils should be cleaned and sanitized often.

● storing food incorrectly. To stop bacteria from growing on food, it should be stored at the right

temperature.
● Cross-contamination. Cross-contamination happens when one food that is contaminated with

bacteria comes into touch with another food. This may occur if food is not handled properly or if

tools and utensils are not cleaned thoroughly.

● invasion by pests. Rodents and insects, two types of pests, can contaminate food and

spread bacteria. To avoid pest infestation, food enterprises should have a pest management

program in place.

Question 9: List three (3) Actions you must take once you have identified a hygiene hazard?

Once a hygiene hazard has been found, you must perform the following three steps:

● Eliminate or remedy the danger. This can entail disinfecting the area, getting rid of

contaminated food, or fixing broken equipment.

● To your manager or supervisor, report the hazard. This will make it easier to guarantee that the

risk is removed and that other employees are informed about the possibility of contracting a

foodborne illness.

● Take action to stop the danger from occurring again. This can entail creating new

processes, imparting knowledge to staff members, or introducing new tools.

Question 10: List three (3) hygiene hazards which typically could occur in Tourism and

Hospitality?

Here are three potential hygiene risks that could happen in the tourism and hospitalityindustries:

● Cross-contamination: This happens when one food touches another that has come into

contact with bacteria. This may occur if food is not handled properly or if tools andutensils

are not cleaned thoroughly.

● Improper food storage: To stop bacteria from growing, food should be kept at the right

temperature. Food poisoning can result from improperly stored food that has become
infected with microorganisms.

● An infestation of pests can contaminate food and transmit bacteria. Examples of pests include

insects and rats. To avoid pest infestation, food enterprises should have a pest management

program in place.

Checkpoint 3

Question 11: List six (6) examples for personal hygiene requirements?

Here are six instances of criteria for personal hygiene:

● Frequently washing your hands. The most crucial action to take to stop the spread of bacteria is

this. Particularly after using the restroom, before consuming food, and after touching animals or

their excrement, wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

● Twice-daily tooth brushing. Plaque and bacteria on your teeth can cause cavities and

gum disease; this helps to remove them. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste to

brush your teeth for two minutes.

● Everyday showering or bathing. This aids in cleaning your skin by removing sweat, dirt,

and bacteria. Spend at least five minutes in a bath or shower with soap and water.

● Consistently trim your nails. By doing this, you can avoid having dirt and bacteria collect under

your nails. Use a tidy pair of clippers to trim your nails.


● Frequently washing your hair. This aids in cleaning your hair of debris, oil, and product

buildup. Every two to three days, wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner.

● Putting on clean clothing. This lessens the likelihood of bacteria and body odorspreading.

Wear clean clothes every day and wash your clothes frequently.

Question 12: What are the reporting requirements for food handling staffs who sufferfrom

illnesses such flu, diarrhoea or vomiting?

Requirements for reporting sick food handlers

When food handlers experience vomiting, diarrhea, or other signs of a communicable disease, they

should notify their manager or supervisor right away. Additionally, they must skip work until they have

been clear of symptoms for at least 24 hours.

These reporting regulations are in place to stop the spread of foodborne illnesses. When a person

handling food is ill, their vomit, diarrhea, or other bodily fluids may contaminate the food. This may

make those who consume the food ill.

Food handlers can contribute to preserving the health of their clients and coworkers by reporting their

illnesses and taking the day off.

Question 13: List the three (3) ways of contamination and provide three (3) examples for eachtype?

The three basic methods of food contamination are shown below, along with three illustrationsfor each:

1. Biological contamination: This happens when noxious bacteria, viruses, or parasites comeinto touch

with food. Biological pollutants include, for instance:

● Salmonella is a type of bacteria that can result in food poisoning, which can cause

symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and fever.


● Listeria: This bacteria can result in listeriosis, a serious infection that is particularly dangerous

for expectant mothers, babies, and persons with compromised immune systems.

● E. coli: This bacteria can result in E. coli infections, which can cause symptoms like

vomiting, diarrhea, and cramps.

Question 15: What is food poisoning? What are its common causes?
Eating contaminated food is a common cause of food poisoning. The symptoms, which can be minor to

severe, frequently include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and cramps in the abdomen. Many different

bacteria, viruses, and parasites have the potential to cause food poisoning.

The following are the most typical causes of food poisoning:

● Salmonella: Raw meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products can all contain the bacteria

salmonella. Juice and unpasteurized milk both contain it.

● Animals, water, and soil all contain the bacteria known as listeria. Additionally, it can be

discovered in processed foods such as deli meats and soft cheeses.

● E. coli: In the intestines of animals, you can find the bacteria E. coli. Meat, poultry, anddairy

products may get contaminated.

● The virus known as norovirus can be found in tainted food and drink. This virus, whichcan also

induce vomiting and diarrhea, is extremely contagious.

● Campylobacter: Raw meat, poultry, and unpasteurized milk are all sources of thisbacteria. It

may result in fever, cramping in the abdomen, and diarrhea.

severe, this can result in a variety of symptoms, including hives, itching, swelling, breathing difficulties,

and anaphylaxis. The following 3 factors must be taken into account to guarantee that the proper foods

are made and provided to those with allergies:

● The importance of communicating with clients about their sensitivities cannot be

overstated. Find out what they are allergic to and the extent of their allergies by askingthem.

● Cross-contamination: When food that is safe for allergy sufferers comes into contact

with food that contains allergens, cross-contamination occurs. This may occur if food is prepared

alongside allergen-containing food on the same surfaces, with the same tools,or in the same oil.

● Food that is prepared for allergic individuals should be clearly labeled. As a result,

customers will be less likely to unintentionally consume allergen-containing products.

It's critical to take rapid action if a customer experiences an adverse response. The actions listed below

ought to be taken:
● Call 911. Anaphylaxis is a medical emergency that needs to be treated right away.

● administer an EpiPen or other epinephrine auto-injector. A drug called epinephrine canassist to

stop an allergic reaction.

Question 21: A food safety program acts as a preventative measure for health and safety, by setting

out the processes that staff must follow. What are the requirements for a food business thereto

according to the Food Safety Standard 3.2.1?


A written food safety program must be in place for food operations to comply with Food SafetyStandard

3.2.1. The following should be included in the program:

● A hazard analysis is a procedure for locating and evaluating any potential risks

connected to the company's food handling operations.

● Critical control points (CCPs) are areas in the process of handling food where risks canbe

reduced.

● Critical limits are the highest or lowest levels that must be achieved for a physical,

chemical, or biological property in order to control a hazard.

● Monitoring procedures: These are the steps used to make sure crucial boundaries arenot

crossed.

● When critical limits are surpassed, corrective measures are done.

● Keeping track of all food safety activities is known as recordkeeping.

Question 22: What is the purpose of a Hazard Analysis of Critical Control Points (HACCP)system?

Where does HACCP originate from?

A methodical approach to food safety known as Hazard Analysis of Critical Control Points (HACCP)

analyzes and manages potential risks in the food production process. The following seven principles

form the foundation of the HACCP system:

● Risk assessment Determine and evaluate any risk that can emerge throughout any

phase of the food manufacturing process.

● Determine the critical control points (CCPs) in the food manufacturing process wherehazards

can be managed.

● Establish critical limit(s) for each CCP to guarantee that the hazard is under control.

● Establishing methods for monitoring each CCP will help to guarantee that the criticallimits

are not exceeded.

● Establish processes to follow when a critical limit is exceeded to implement correctiveaction.

● Establish methods for ensuring that the HACCP system is operating efficiently.
● Keeping records: Keep track of all HACCP operations.

A proactive strategy for ensuring food safety is the HACCP system. The HACCP system can aid in

preventing food poisoning by detecting and containing possible hazards.

When the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and Pillsbury collaborated to

create a system to guarantee the safety of food for astronauts in space in the 1960s, the HACCP system

was born. Since its introduction into the food industry in the 1970s, the HACCP system has grown to

become the accepted global standard for food safety.

Question 23: As part of HACCP at each step of the food handling cycle, it is important to identify

and remove potential causes of contamination. List a general preventative action which could be

applied for each of the following steps of the catering cycle?

● Getting a license for a food business: In the majority of nations, a license from the local

government is necessary before a food business can function. This license guarantees that the

restaurant has adhered to a set minimum level of food safety.

● Using proper hygiene techniques: To stop the spread of foodborne illnesses, food

enterprises must adhere to good cleanliness standards. Frequent hand washing, clean and

organized food storage, and correct food handling skills are some of these behaviors.

● Utilizing secure food ingredients: Food establishments are required to employ secure

food ingredients in their goods. This implies that the ingredients must be clean, as wellas

carefully stored and handled.

● Correct food product labeling: Food firms are required to properly label their products.

The ingredients, nutritional facts, and expiration date must all be listed.

● Food goods may need to be recalled if necessary: If a food company learns that a food product is

contaminated, it must remove the product from sale. This is carried out to stop individuals from

becoming ill after consuming tainted food.

● When handling filthy linen, wear gloves.

● Soiled linen should be properly bagged or contained to avoid cross-contamination.

● Carry dirty linen to a specified spot so it may be cleaned.

● All areas where linen is handled should be regularly cleaned and disinfected.

Question 32: Explain the processes of cleaning and sanitizing?

1. Cleaning

Cleaning is the process of eliminating visible pollutants like dirt and debris from a surface. Reducing

the number of dangerous bacteria on a surface to safe levels is the process of sanitizing. Sanitizing and

cleaning are both crucial measures in stopping the spread of bacteriaand germs.

The steps involved in cleaning are as follows:

● Take out any loose dirt and trash. Vacuuming, sweeping, or dusting can be used to accomplish

this.

● Spray clean water onto the surface.

● Use a cleaning agent. The cleaning agent needs to be suitable for the surface being cleaned.

● Use a brush or sponge to scrub the surface.

● Use fresh water to rinse the surface.

● Use a fresh cloth to dry the surface.

2. Sanitation
The steps in sanitizing are as follows:

● the surface as previously mentioned.

● Use a sanitizing agent. The sanitizing solution needs to be suitable for the kind ofsurface

that needs to be cleaned.

● Spend the time recommended on the product label letting the sanitizing solution settleon the

surface.

● Use fresh water to rinse the surface.

● Use a fresh cloth to dry the surface.

It's crucial to understand that sanitizing and cleaning are two different processes. Cleaning gets rid of

dirt and junk, but it doesn't always get rid of bacteria and germs. While sanitizing eliminates germs and

bacteria, it does not always get rid of dirt and debris.

It's crucial to periodically clean and sterilize surfaces for the greatest outcomes. The type of surface and

the amount of use it receives will determine how frequently it needs to be cleaned and sanitized. Surfaces

at a home office might only require cleaning and sanitizing once a week, whereas surfaces used in food

preparation should be cleaned and sterilized more frequently.

Question 33: List the six steps required for effective cleaning?

The six steps needed for efficient cleaning are as follows:

● Pre-cleaning: Clear the surface of any food, debris, or loose dirt. Brooms, dustpans, vacuum

cleaners, or wet mops can all be used for this.

● Cleaning: Make sure the cleaning solution you use is suitable for the kind of surface you're

cleaning. Use a brush or sponge to apply the cleaning solution to the surface and scrub it. Clean a

clean cloth to dry the area after rinsing it with clean water.

● Use a sanitizing solution that is suitable for the kind of surface you are disinfecting. The
surface should be treated with the sanitizing solution, which should be left on for the time period

recommended on the product label. Clean a clean cloth to dry the area after rinsing it with clean

water.

● Disposal: Properly get rid of any contaminated cleaning supplies. They might need to be

put in a biohazard bag or container to accomplish this.

● Verify that the surface is clean and sanitized by doing an inspection. Repeat the cleaning and

sanitizing procedures in any locations that are still filthy or polluted.

● Documentation: Take notes while you clean and sanitize. In order to do this, a record of the

cleaning and sanitizing supplies used, the surfaces cleaned, and the cleaning time may need to be

kept.

Question 34: What is a cleaning schedule? What should be specified in a cleaning schedule?

A cleaning schedule is a strategy that specifies how frequently and when to clean particular spaces in

your house or place of work. It can be tailored to meet your unique requirements and can be as

straightforward or sophisticated as you require. You should include the following details in your

cleaning schedule:

● Which portions of your house or place of business require cleaning? Depending on the

size and nature of your home or place of business, this will change. A large house might require

daily cleaning, whereas a tiny apartment might only require cleaning once a week.

● Depending on how frequently an area is used, we should also consider how frequently

we should clean each space. For instance, cleaning the kitchen and bathroom more frequently

than the living room or bedroom.

● Depending on the type of surface and how much dirt and debris accumulate, different

chores will need to be completed in each location. For instance, it could be necessary toclean the

bathroom, sweep or vacuum the floors, and wipe down the kitchen.

● Who is in charge of keeping each space clean: This could be you, a member of your
family, or a cleaning company.

● What resources are required for each task: This may include cleaning supplies,equipment,

and tools.
