i Assessment information
Information about how you should complete this assessment can be found in Appendix
A of the Hospitality Works Student User Guide. Refer to the appendix for information
on:
1. Write the definition of the following words as outlined in the Food Safety Standards:
Contaminant
Contamination
Contaminant: Contaminant means any biological or chemical agents’ foreign matter or other
substances that may compromises food safety or suitability.
Contamination: Contamination is the presence of harmful chemicals and microorganisms in food,
which can cause consumer illness.
Potentially hazardous foods: Potentially hazardous foods is a term utilized by food handling
associations to arrange food sources that require time-temperature control to guard them for
human utilization. A PHF is a food that: Contains dampness - generally viewed as a water action
more prominent than 0.85 Contains protein.
Make sure that the company follows the Food Standards Code.
3. List three responsibilities that you have as an employee in relation to food safety.
• One of the highest risks of poor food hygiene is food poisoning or foodborne illness
5. List three powers that Environmental Health Officers (Health Inspectors) have.
A food safety program is a legal document written in plain English that lists the food safety
hazards that could in you occur un your business. How you would control them and what
records you will need to keep to demonstrate thet you have controlled these hazards. It details
the procedures and work practices you must use to ensure food is safety produced and sold.
Find out potential hazards in all food handling operations performed by the company
8. Complete the table by providing an example of how each of the following hygiene hazards can
be a risk and a way the risk can be controlled.
Airborne disease Chickenpox, caused by the Avoid close contact with people
Varicella zoster germ. Mumps, who are experiencing active
caused by a paramyxovirus. illness symptoms.
9. List all of the occasions that you need to wash your hands.
10. What are the seven principles of the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) system?
Conduct a hazard analysis: This principle involves taking a close look at how food is
produced in businesses from initial delivery to storage, preparation, cooking, and cooling of
food, display, serve, or transportation. You should look for any hazards that may occur at any
point in the process.
Identify the Critical Control Points (CCPP): A Critical Control Points (CCPP) is a step in the
production process where control can be applied to eliminate or prevent a food safety hazard
or reduce it to an acceptable level. If a hazard is likely to cause illness or injury, then you must
address it at this point.
Establish Critical Limits for each CCPP: A critical limit is a cut-off point after which food can
no longer be deemed safe. Each CCPP must have critical limits set in order to keep the
system working within safe limits.
Establish a monitoring system for each CCPP: Monitoring is the scheduled measurement or
observation of critical control points relatives to their critical limits. Monitoring procedures will
describe how and when the measurement will be taken and who is responsible for the
measurement and how frequently the measurement is taken during production.
establish corrective actions: It is the procedure that needs to be followed when a critical
limit occurs. In this step, the HACCP team identifies the problems and steps to ensure that
these problems will not arise again.
establish procedures for verification of the effectiveness of the HACCP plan: This principle
involves verifying whether the HACCP plan is operating effectively. Verifying can take the form
of procedures and tests, including random sampling and analysis.
11. List five personal hygiene and grooming practices you need to follow.
Shower hygiene: Wash your body and hair often. “I’m not saying you have to take a bath
every day or take a bath,” "But you should clean your body and shampoo your hair at regular

intervals which works for you." Your body is constantly shedding skin. "That skin needs to be
closed. Otherwise, it will become a cake up and cause illness."
Nail hygiene: Trimming your fingernails and toenails and keeping them in good shape will
prevent problems like drooping nails and infected nail beds. Athletes who are clean and dry
are less likely to have compressed feet.
Teeth hygiene: Ideally, you should brush your teeth after every meal. At least, brush your
teeth twice a day and floss every day. Brushing reduces the accumulation of bacteria in your
mouth, which can lead to tooth decay and gum disease.
Hands hygiene: Wash your hands before preparing or eating food, going to the bathroom,
coughing or sneezing, and handling garbage can go a long way in preventing the spread of
bacteria and viruses. Keep a healthy product, such as an alcohol-based sanitizing gel, easy
when soap and water are not available
Sickness hygiene: If you are sick, you should be careful to avoid spreading the virus among
others.

Vomiting

This task is to be completed in the kitchen environment. Your assessor will ensure
you have access to all the relevant equipment and resources. You are required, on
three different occasions to demonstrate that you can use safe food handling
practices and follow the kitchen’s policies and procedures and their food safety
program. Therefore, you will repeat these tasks three times.
In line with your assessor’s instructions you are to complete a food preparation task
such as making a sandwich or preparing ready-made food for serving.
Prior to commencing the task, review the kitchen’s hygiene procedures. You will be
required to follow these procedures throughout the task and you will be assessed
on this. You must also demonstrate that you can work safely and hygienically at all
times in accordance with kitchen procedures.
For each of the three food preparation activities you are required to:
Identify hazards in the food preparation area and either remove or minimise
these hazards. Explain to your assessor what the hazards are and
demonstrate their removal or minimisation.
1.Biological hazards:
Macro biological (this includes insects such as flies and cockroaches)
Microbiological (includes bacteria, fungi, viruses)
Pathogens- these are common to all foods. They originate in the
intestines of mammals and caries on food.
Minimisation:
Consider each situation as potentially dangerous. ...
Wash your hands frequently with warm water and soap.
Wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) to respond to situations
involving biological hazards. ...
Use the correct disposal method, including labeled biohazard bags or
