for tonight’s dinner service. One of the chef’s has instructed you on how to Yes ☐ No ☐
wash your hands properly, peel different kinds of vegetables and use a
knife safely to cut them into the appropriate size. However, you are
finding these new techniques and processes difficult and time-consuming.
As you feel that you are unable to finish on time and do not want to be
fired on your first day, what action should you take? Choose all correct
choices from the following options:

a) Ignore the instructions you were given and use your personal
techniques to complete the work in a faster time, thereby

equipment

List any three (3) different methods of how you can use your new
personal protective equipment/uniform to minimise the issues
encountered during your first week. Write your answer in 30-50 words.

Wearing the heavy-duty apron, long sleeve chef apprentice top, and heavy-duty chef
apprentice trousers with built-in kneepads can help minimize issues:

Q5: Whilst working in the new restaurant you are asked to collect an item Satisfactory
from the cold storage. The item is right at the back of the cold storage in response
a hard to reach corner. As you are attempting to retrieve it, you notice a
Yes ☐ No ☐
few black items on it. After careful examination, the black spots seem to
be rodent droppings. Organisational policy states that in such cases, the
supervisor needs to be immediately notified, all nearby food must be
thrown out and an incident report filed. However, you are aware that
someone recently reported an incident of a similar nature and as a result,
they were ostracised by their colleagues who felt that they had
overreacted to a simple matter.

Based on the situation above, outline what action you should take in
100150 words.

Food safety must be given top priority in this case, and organizational policies must be followed.
Notwithstanding worries about possible backlash from coworkers, the customers' and employees' health
and safety should come first. I would notify the supervisor about the mouse droppings, cease working
on the task right away, and securely close the cold storage. I would then dispose of any adjacent food
items in accordance with company policy and submit an incident report. Upholding professional
responsibility is crucial to preventing potential harm to clients and preserving the integrity of the
workplace. This includes making sure that health standards are met and occurrences are suitably
documented.

Q6: The restaurant management has noticed that there have been several Satisfactory
incidents recently related to WHS/OHS processes and have invited you to response

are doors being left open, a few small gaps in the walls for
exhaust/air for the facility and bins not being emptied regularly
resulting in overflow.

PPE compliance and adherence to safety protocols.

• Foster a culture of accountability, encouraging staff to report any incidents or


concerns promptly.

Security management involves the systematic implementation of measures to safeguard people,


property, and information from potential threats or risks. Work Health and Safety (WHS) management
procedures are integral to security management by addressing risks related to the well-being of
individuals within the workplace. WHS procedures include measures to prevent accidents, injuries, and
illnesses, contributing to a secure environment. Additionally, WHS practices may involve emergency
response plans, which play a crucial role in managing security incidents such as evacuations or other
threats. The integration of WHS principles into security management ensures a comprehensive
approach to protecting both the physical and overall well-being of individuals in a given setting.

the incident. Avoid jargon or technical terms that may confuse readers. Clearly state
the who, what, when, where, and how of the incident.
2. Structured Format: Organize the report with a clear structure, including sections such as
incident details, individuals involved, actions taken, and recommendations. This helps readers
quickly locate and understand information.
3. Chronological Order: Present information in chronological order to create a timeline of events.
This helps investigators understand the sequence of actions and their impact on the incident.
4. Checklists and Fields: Include checklists or predefined fields to ensure that essential
information is captured consistently. This can help standardize reporting and ensure that critical
details are not overlooked.
5. Visual Aids: Incorporate visual aids, such as diagrams, photos, or sketches, when applicable.
Visuals can enhance understanding and provide additional context to support the written
description.

Unsafe Work Practices and Hazards Report

Dear Head Chef,

I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention some critical
observations in our kitchen regarding unsafe work practices and potential hazards. It is
crucial to address these issues promptly to maintain a safe and compliant working
environment.

1. Storage of Cooked Food with Uncooked Food: I noticed instances where cooked
food was stored with uncooked food, which is a direct violation of our safety and
hygiene standards. This poses a risk of cross-contamination and compromises the
quality of our food.

2. Lack of Labels on Cooked Food: Cooked food in the storage lacks essential labels,
including use by date, preparation date, allergic ingredients, and preparer
information. Proper labeling is essential for transparency and customer safety.

3. Wet Floor Near the Fridge: There is a wet floor near the fridge area, creating a
potential slip hazard. This needs urgent attention to prevent accidents and ensure a
safe working environment.

I have taken immediate actions to isolate improperly stored food, label cooked items
appropriately, and mark the wet floor for caution. However, a comprehensive review and
necessary measures are required to address these issues systematically.

Your prompt attention to these matters will contribute to maintaining our commitment to
safety and hygiene standards.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Best regards,
