Step Detailed Instruction


Pests, including insects, rodents, mammals and birds, must be
excluded from any properties as they are a significant potential
source of microbiological and physical hazards.

Rodents are known carriers of Salmonella and many birds carry


Campylobacter, both of which are common causes of food
poisoning. Pests can cause damage and financial loss through
Overview consumption of stock as well as damaging building fabric; for
example, cases of fire have been attributed to rodents gnawing
through electrical wires.

Pest problems may also be an indication of poor standards of


hygiene in general. Lack of effective pest control procedures can
lead to loss of business, product failure and fear from staff
members working at the site.
Deny access to pests by:
● Only using reputable suppliers for all deliveries
● Check all deliveries before they enter the property
● Refuse shipments that have signs of pest infestation, such as
gnaw marks on cardboard containers
● Keep all exterior openings closed tightly
1. Prevention ● Check doors for proper fit as part of the regular cleaning
schedule
● Report any signs of pests to the responsible PIC/Hotel
Manager/ General Manager
● Report any openings, cracks, broken seals, or other
opportunities for pest infestation to the PIC/Hotel
Manager/General Manager

34
Confidential and Proprietary Information of RedDoorz. RD Operational Manual Book V3 070219
● Dispose of garbage quickly and correctly. Keep garbage
containers clean, in good condition, and tightly covered in all
areas (indoor and outdoor). Clean up spills around garbage
containers immediately. Wash, rinse, and sanitise containers
regularly.
● Store recyclables in clean, pest-proof containers away from
the building.
● Place food and supplies after delivery as quickly as possible
into storage.
● Keep all food and supplies at least 100 cm. off the floor and
50 cm. away from walls.
● Refrigerate foods such as powdered milk, cocoa, and nuts
after opening. These foods attract insects, but most insects
become inactive at temperatures below 5º Celsius.
● Place other opened packages of cereals and grains in storage
containers with tight fitting lids
● Use FIFO (First In First Out) inventory rotation, so pests do not
have time to settle into these products and breed.
● Clean the facility thoroughly and regularly. Careful cleaning
eliminates the food supply, destroys insect eggs, and reduces
the number of places pests can safely take shelter.
● Use industry proof pesticides
● Use the appropriate chemical for the type of pest
● For larger animal, please do not use any chemicals, relocate
the animals instead. Considered to work together with a pest
control company to remove the animals from the property
should the problem re-occur on regular basis

If any over the counter pesticides are stored on-site, follow these
2. Pesticides guidelines:
● At all times keep pesticides in their original containers
● At all times store pesticides in locked cabinets away from
food-storage and food preparation areas
● Store aerosol or pressurized spray cans in a cool place
(Exposure to temperatures higher than 45º Celsius could
cause them to explode)
● Always check local regulations before disposing of pesticides
as many are considered hazardous waste
● At all times dispose of empty containers according to
manufacturers’ directions and local regulations
3. Monthly Deep It is important for the property to do scheduled monthly deep
Cleaning cleaning to cover all areas (guest rooms and public area) within
stages.

Step Detailed Instruction


First Aid serves the immediate assistance to a person suffering
form a sudden illness attack or an injury. It is the initial
Overview intervention given to a person before taking him/her to the
hospital or before professional medical help is available.
It is required that all hotel staffs’ front liners are First Aid
Certified.
● Soothe and clean the wound with cool water. Then remove
any pebbles or splinters with alcohol-sterilised tweezers.
Gently wash around the wound with soap and a washcloth.
Do not use irritating soap, iodine, alcohol, or hydrogen
peroxide --clean water should be all you need.

● Antibiotic creams and ointments not only keep wounds moist


but they can reduce the risks of infection. If you do use an
antibiotic, apply a thin layer on the wound. Certain antibiotic
ingredients can trigger a rash in some people. If you get a
1. Open Wound rash, stop using that ointment.

● Always cover your scrape or wound hygienically with a


bandage. An uncovered scab or scrape is at risk of reopening
or infection. When in doubt, cover it up with an adhesive
bandage to keep out the bacteria, change the bandage daily.

● If you feel like the wound is itchy, blistery, or burning under


your bandage, you may have an allergy to the adhesive used
in some bandages. For sensitive skin, try switching to sterile
gauze and paper tape, or an adhesive-free dressing.

37
Confidential and Proprietary Information of RedDoorz. RD Operational Manual Book V3 070219
● Almost as soon as you get a cut or scrape, your body begins
healing the injury. White blood cells attack infection-causing
bacteria. Platelets, red blood cells, and fibrin create a jelly-like
clot over the wound and soon a protective scab form. If your
wound gets itchy, be gentle -- you want that scab to stay
where it is.
● Most of us have had a small burn or two. To treat one, cool
the area right away with a cold cloth or cool water to keep
the skin from holding the heat and continuing to burn.
2. Burnt
Afterward, wash the burn with soap and water and dress it
lightly. Leave any blisters that form alone -- they help to
protect the skin as it heals.
Last but not least, you or your staff should go and see a Doctor
about a wound that ...
