Introduction to this guide
1.1 Introduction
Welcome to this guide.
This guide uses Competency Based Training to teach workplace skills. It is based on
competency standard that is a nationally agreed statement of the skills, attitude and
knowledge needed for a particular task. The major emphasis is on what an individual can do
as a result of training. One of the most important characteristics of Competency Based
Training is its focus on training individuals for actual jobs in the workplace.
This will help you teach the competency Implement food safety procedures.
This guide deals with the skills and knowledge required to the implementation of Food Safety
Procedures, using the HACCP method (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) as a food
safety regime.
Care should be taken in developing training to meet the requirements of this unit. For general
and prevocational training, organisations providing training must take into consideration the
full range of industry contexts, with no basis towards individual sectors. The Range of
Variables will assist in this regard. For sector-specific delivery, training should be tailored to
meet the needs of that sector.
A delivery strategy has been provided for the teachers and trainers. The suggested content
gives an indication of what needs to be covered in the program to meet the competency
standard.
The delivery strategy used and assessment provided in this unit is not compulsory and should
be used as a guide. Teachers and trainers are encouraged to utilise their own industry
knowledge, experience, local examples and products to adapt the materials or develop their
own resources, in order to ensure the relevance of the training.
One of your roles as a trainer or teacher is to ensure high standards of service through
effective training. To ensure that you are ready to start working on this competency with
trainees or students, consider the following questions:
How confident do you feel about your own knowledge and skills required to deliver each
element?
Is there any new information or laws that you may need to access before you start training?
Do you feel confident about demonstrating the practical tasks?
Will you be able to clearly explain the underpinning knowledge that your trainee or student will
need to do the job properly?
Are you aware of the scope of industry situations in which the competency may apply?
Are you aware of the language, literacy and numeracy skills your trainees or students need to
demonstrate competency in this standard?
Have you consider access and equity issues in planning the delivery of this training program?
Trainers or teachers should select training strategies that are appropriate for the competency
being taught, the situation and the needs of the learners. For example, if practising on-the-job
is not possible, varied simulations and role-plays may be appropriate.

HACCP systems
What is HACCP?
1. Biological Hazards:
a. Bacteria
b. Molds
c. Yeast.
2. Physical.
3. Chemical hazards.
Pictures:
1. Biological Hazards
A. Bacteria
B. Molds
Molds are likely to develop in warm, damp, dark places, although they
require less moisture than yeast or bacteria. Most molds grow well
between 25 to 37 degrees C, and a few grow above 35 to 37 degrees C.
There are certain molds however that can proliferate at refrigerator
temperatures. Molds can be destroyed by boiling for a few minutes and
with the exception of a few varieties, by heating to a temperature of 60
C, for five to ten minutes.
C. Yeasts
Foods are often contaminated with yeasts because wild yeasts are always
present in the atmosphere. The growth of yeast in some foods can be
detected by the bubble carbon dioxide that is formed. Raw and cooked
fruits that contain small or medium amounts of sugar are likely to ferment.
2. Physical Hazards
A wide variety of things that should not be present can enter the food and
are commonly known as contaminants. Some of these contaminants are
insects, pieces of glass, metal, stone, wood, plastic, bone, feathers and
paper and are generally the result of carelessness by either the grower or
processors premises. A number of foreign objects (physical hazards)
may also be added to food to create sabotage in selected goods. Whilst
the majority will not cause food poisoning the quality of the food, its
appearance or taste may be affected. Some objects could cause injury
once swallowed or bitten.
3. Chemical Hazards
Identification of hazards
Sample product: Pizza
All above activities are inseparable because each activity will affect
another. For example, If we don’t control the purchase of food, we
will not get a good result in the process of serving food.
a. Buying food:
the quality of food
the quantity of the food
the time – frame being bought
the expiration date.
b. Delivering food:
the delivery place (cars, carts etc) must be clean
the time of delivery must be punctual
the temperature must be appropriate for the types of
food
the food must be protected during the delivery.
c. Storing food:
It is important to prevent microbiological contamination
during storage - under poor storage conditions, bacteria can
grow to large and dangerous numbers.
d. Preparing food:
cleaning up involves food stuffs, utensils, and food
preparation areas/surface
wash vegetables before use
ensure all utensils have been washed and sanitised
wash the utensils with 800 c hot water for 1.5 minutes,
or with 50 p.pm. Chlorine
ensure stock rotation of food stuffs
always check for sign of communication insect
infection, physical hazards.
e. Cooking food:
ensure sufficient cooking time
use appropriate methods of cooking
factor in required final texture
accommodate colour, aroma and flavour characteristics
of the food.
f. Freezing food
Frozen food can be preserved and stored for extended
periods of time. Frozen foods are convenient for consumers
and can be prepared quickly with very little effort.
Control points for freezing:
vegetables are blanched before freezing
the best temperature for freezing food is –180 C
a container or a freezer wrap does not allow air to get to
the food
a tight seal is needed to prevent freezer burn and to
maintain food quality
label and date frozen food must be checked regularly
selecting products that freeze well is necessary for
successful freezing.
g. Serving food
cleanliness of utensils, equipment and premises is vital
wrapping of food must be effective and ensure
contamination is kept out
the design of container/wrapping is such that:
- the food is not contaminated
- the container cannot be cleaned easily
- the food can be separated from non-food materials
- temperature, and quality of the food can be
maintained.
h. Reheating food
Food is too expensive to throw away and left – over food can
be often be made into taste dishes.
Using left-over is called rechauffe (reheated) cookery, care is
needed to kill bacteria, as food can easily be re –infected even
if the bacteria have been killed when the food was first
cooked.

cooking food

a. Buying food:
b. Receiving food:
The quality of food as received by the consumer is determined
by the food company or food supplier, any food does not meet
contracted standards must be sent back to the supplier.
c. Storing food:
Proper food storage is an essential safe food handling
technique. Proper storage helps preserve the nutrients,
flavour, texture and appearance of food. Spoiled food wastes
money and also causes illness.
When storing food, it must be checked, packed (or re-packed)
as required by the organisation, and - in some cases -
specially pre-prepared before storage (such as removing
leaves; unpacking from outer).
Refrigerator Storage.
The refrigerator is used for short –term storage of highly
perishable (easily spoiled) foods. In addition, some foods that
can ordinarily be kept in dry storage areas may be refrigerated
to extend their storage life.
Perishable foods which must be refrigerated include:
- meat, poultry and fish
- eggs and foods rich in eggs such as custards
- milk, cream, cheese and other milk products
- butter and some margarine’s
- ripe fruits and most vegetables
- cakes and pies or fruit filling
- canned food if refrigerator storage is specified on the
label
- canned food after opening always remove the food from
the can and put it into another container first as some
foods can pick up an unpleasant flavour if stored in open
can, and food poisoning also result from chemical
contamination
- leftovers or foods prepared ahead of time, such as
salads, meat dishes.
Freezer Storage.
The freezer is a versatile storage area and essential for foods
such as ice cream and sherbet. In addition, freezing makes it
possible to keep many foods longer than would normally be
possible when using just a dry store or refrigerated storage.
These include store-bought foods and fresh or cooked food
frozen at home.
Be aware that some foods do not freeze well – including
potatoes, gelatine, lettuce, mustards, mayonnaise, cooked
egg whites or any mixtures containing these foods.

Corrective action
There are two kinds of validation for CCP: external and internal
validation.
External validation
In food production based on ETOP (Environmental Threat
Opportunity Profile), there are three factors, which are monitored
using external validation:
consumer: consumer target ( age, position )
supplier: food origin, food supply agreement ( food qualities
food schedule, food price)
government regulation: working permit, food production training.
Internal validation
This validation include:
tools and equipment technology and production process.
(especially time, and temperature rotias)
production and operation
human resources:
- number of workers
- education of workers
- workers specialisation
- pre-test for workers to find out prior skills and
knowledge
- workers training
- working facilities
- workers salary
- working regulations in every unit/department.
5.1.2 Competent
Ask yourself the question, “what does an employee really need to be able to do?” The
answer to this question will tell you what we mean by the word “competent”. To be competent
in a work related skill implies that the person is able to:
perform at an acceptable level of skill
organise the required tasks
respond and react appropriately when things go wrong
fulfil a role in the scheme of things at work
transfer skills and knowledge to new situations.
When you assess this competency you must take into account all of the above issues to
reflect the real nature of work.
5.1.4 Assessors
In workplace situations, an industry certified assessor would determine whether a worker was
competent to undertake the tasks entailed by this unit of competency. If you are certified to
assess this unit, then you may choose from the methods offered in this guide, or develop your
own to conduct assessment. Assessors must look at the evidence guides in the competency
standards before arriving at the assessment methods to use.
Evidence should include a demonstrated ability to correctly explain and apply principles and
practices in the hospitality industry.
Should your trainees or students not have the underpinning skills and knowledge required,
you must ensure that you deliver this material before you progress to the next section.
Use these tasks to determine if your trainees have the necessary underpinning skills and
knowledge. The table below can be used to record the result of each student and what further
training is needed.
Results of a successful
assessment should indicate
sufficient and relevant

knowledge and understanding to
be able to infer competence.
Therefore the trainee is assessed
as either competent /
competence to be achieved.
Examples of assessment results
sheets are included in Appendix
1 and 2.
Assessment of practical demonstration in the workplace may include observation of the trainee:

completion processes as required by the food safety plan.
place a piece of bread, apiece of cheese and leaf of lettuce on separate plates: leave at room temperature for one week. After three days
observe and regards any changes. Again, after one week, note and record changes. Describe and explain what has occurred?
Oral question or some form of written assessment/project would be useful to determine underpinning knowledge such as:
HACCP principles and methods of food production
at risk client groups
hygiene and food safety regulations
local food production and packaging regulations
process flow planning
microbiological hazards
standard operating procedures.
In off-the-job assessment, simulated activities could be used to allow the trainee to provide evidence of skills through practical
demonstration:
a case study of an the implementation of HACCP (based on a provided food safety plan)
implementation of food safety procedures within the training kitchen.
To comply with council regulations, the café where you are working has undergone extensive renovations. Your ü ü
supervisor has requested that you implement food safety procedures utilising the HACCP methods as a food
safety regime.
1. While carrying out the routine stock-take of your dry goods area, you notice that the lid ü
of the flour drum has not been released and signs of rodent droppings are evident. How should this be
reported, documented and rectified to implement correct food safety procedures?
2. A new trainee has been delegated the responsibility of re-trying all foodstuffs and ü
cleaning the cool room. Utilising the HACCP method, identify and explain to the trainee all critical control
points, including the importance of storage and stock rotation.
This example can also be used to assess unit ITHHBKTA03AEM Receive and store stock.
