RISK MANAGEMENT APPLIED TO SAFETY

FACTORS THAT AFFECT FOOD BORNE

ILLNESS
 Factors that contribute to food borne
illness:
• 1. Time and Temperature Abuse – when exposed
to danger zone
• 135 F or 57 C – temperature danger zone for
cooking
• 2. Importance of hand washing and good personal
hygiene
• * Used gloves as your second hand
• *Clean uniform is appealing to the guests
• * Hair nets and aprons is strictly follow.
• Personal Hygiene – means bathing, washing

• Personal Health – employees are required to
report to person in charge when they are
diagnosed with disease that can be
transferred to food and considered to be
severe health hazards.
• 3. Cross Contamination- contaminated food
contains germs and harmful substance that can
cause food borne illness transfer from one food
item to another.
• 4. Other sources of contamination – raw foods
such as fruits, vegetables should treat like ready
to eat food.
• A. Utensils
• B. Animals are prohibited in the area
 Types Of Devices :
• 1. Dial Faced bimetal stem type – used for
internal food temperature form 0F to 220F.
• 2. Digital – display the temperature
numerically and measures wide range of
temperature
• 3. Thermocouple – provides a digital read out
of the temperature for different applications.

• 4. Infrared –measures the temperature
surface of food without touching it.
• 5. T- sticks (melt device) – single use
disposable thermometer.
• 6. Built in – refrigerated and frozen food are
built in with thermometer for food storage.

• 7. Maximum registering – measure the
temperature of hot water used in sanitize
dishware and utensils
• Calibration Nut – calibrating of dial faced
thermometer:
• A. Boiling point – immerse 2 inches of the stem
into boiling water needle to 212 F
• B. Ice point – insert the probe of crushed ice to
remove air pockets and stabilize the needle to 32F
