support or where, after enrolment, it is made apparent that the student requires special support,
reasonable adjustments will be made to the learning environment, training delivery, learning
resources and/or assessment tasks to accommodate the particular needs of the student. An
adjustment is reasonable if it can accommodate the student’s particular needs, while also

3. Equipment and utensils must also be cleaned before and after preparation.
4. Workers must wear neat clothes and wear net caps or hair ties.
5. Workers must not handle food without clean hands or gloves.
35: Other than pathogenic bacteria, what are two examples of infectious diseases a food
handler may carry that can contaminate food?
Such illnesses include:
Gastroenteritis including viral gastro (norovirus or rotavirus)
THE EARLY CHILDHOOD LEARNING COMPANY PTY. LTD. T/A ASTRAL SKILLS INSTITUTE OF
ABN: 80 600 951 264 AUSTRALIA
RTO: 41322 CRICOS: 03858C
36: What personal health issues do you should have a responsibility to report, to conform to
Food Safety Standards? List three.
If a food handler has a foodborne illness
Food handlers have a responsibility to tell their supervisor if they have a fever or sore throat.
If a food handler has a skin infection or Injuries
A food handler must inform his manager if he has a skin infection or injuries because such
wounds can easily contaminate food.
If a food handler suspects that he may have contaminated food
If some things such as jewelry fall into the food, the food handler must report it because it falls
under the category of food contamination.
37: What are your responsibilities if you think you have caused food to be contaminated as a
result of a personal illness?
First of all, it is the responsibility of every food handler to tell the supervisor beforehand about
his ongoing illness but if he fails to do so he must immediately report it to the supervisor if he
suspects that he has contaminated some food as a result of personal illness such as a fever or
a runny nose. Then the management must take action to contain the hazardous food and they
must make sure that it is thrown away and it must not reach the consumer at any cost. That
food handler must also be reprimanded.
38: How does personal protective clothing such as a chef’s uniform of pants, jacket and
apron assist a business in meeting food hygiene and safety standards? Provide two
reasons.

ABN: 80 600 951 264 AUSTRALIA
RTO: 41322 CRICOS: 03858C
39: What personal hygiene standards should you maintain when handling food to reduce the
risk of food contamination? List three things you should do.
Personal hygiene of food handlers is of utmost importance and these three things are
necessary to maintain it
Wash your hands when you start preparing food and after you suspect that you may
have contaminated your hands.
Wear net and clean clothes to prevent any food contamination.
Wear protective clothing such as hair ties and hair nets.
40: Why should you wear organisation-approved, brightly coloured, waterproof band-aids to
cover cuts and abrasions?
You should wear organization-approved, bright, waterproof band-aids to cover cuts and
abrasions because if they fall into the food they can be easily spotted and if they are water-
proof they don’t absorb any moisture that may promote bacterial growth. I they are
professional it means that they are made of special materials that don’t break or fall off easily
42: Briefly describe how you could contaminate a food contact surface by unhygienic
personal contact.
THE EARLY CHILDHOOD LEARNING COMPANY PTY. LTD. T/A ASTRAL SKILLS INSTITUTE OF
ABN: 80 600 951 264 AUSTRALIA
RTO: 41322 CRICOS: 03858C
43: Briefly describe how you can limit direct contact with ready-to-eat foods.
Direct contact with ready-made food can be easily reduced by wearing protective clothing
such as hair ties and hairnets. It can be further reduced by wearing gloves. Protective
equipment reduces physical contaminations such as hair falling into food. While gloves reduce
the person of food contamination but it is important o wash your hand before wearing gloves .
44: List two unhygienic cleaning practices when handling linen that could spread foodborne
illnesses.
Linen can easily spread food-borne illness due to unhygienic practices such as:
Storing linen without protective storage
Mixing soiled and clean linen
Transported linen in contaminated containers
Using old washcloths to clean linen
45: Why should you sanitise surfaces to prevent the transfer of foodborne illnesses?
Foodborne illness spread mostly from person to surface or from surface to food contact
therefore it is important to sanitize surfaces. Sanitizing surfaces prevents the spread of
pathogens that cause food-borne illnesses. A contaminated surface will act as transport of
these pathogens and it must be avoided.
