Why do we clean? § Prevents contamination § Prevents oxidisation § Maintains equipment in

Why do we clean? § Prevents contamination § Prevents oxidisation § Maintains equipment in good order § Allows sanitisers to work

Reason for sanitising § Prevents growth of bacteria and other microbes § Prevents you

Reason for sanitising § Prevents growth of bacteria and other microbes § Prevents you killing your customers, ie prevents growth of bacteria on surfaces. Food comes in contact with surfaces and can bacteria on surfaces can contaminate food, especially perishable foods. Bacteria can multiply in the contaminated food causing food poisoning. Food poisoning can kill people especially vulnerable people like the elderly, young and pregnant women.

Cross-contamination Keep food waste (rubbish stuff in bins) away from food stocks § Compliance with legislation § Minimise pests which could lead to crosscontamination of food stocks § Maximise clean and sanitised kitchen and site Example of cross contamination: a chopping board and knife is used to dice bacon then immediately used to slice lettuce for a salad. Cross contamination hazard is bacteria from the bacon can contaminate the lettuce and cause food poisoning.

Waste management and recycling continued § Implement composting or worm farms for food scraps § Use a sink strainer to catch food scraps § Purchase food items in bulk where possible § Scrape off excess food thoroughly from crockery before washing § Avoid disposable coasters § Use natural straws

Hazardous substances – reducing environmental impact § Use environmentally friendly cleaners § Dispose of

Hazardous substances – reducing environmental impact § Use environmentally friendly cleaners § Dispose of specialised cleaners, e. g. silver polish, in the correct manner § Return unused chemicals to the supplier § Do not dispose chemical residual in drains § Used cooking oil can be hazardous - collect in bins or containers and recycle

Impacts of wastes on the environment: § Harmful wastes like chemicals can impact on

Impacts of wastes on the environment: § Harmful wastes like chemicals can impact on waterways and eco systems; plastics are swept into waterways and harm wildlife. § Creation of greenhouse gases

Hazardous substances § Hazardous substances are things like chemicals usually used for cleaning, They

Hazardous substances § Hazardous substances are things like chemicals usually used for cleaning, They can’t be stored in the dry store with food and they should have a Safety Data Sheet nearby outlining may things required by Safe Work Australia § What chemicals do we have in our commercial kitchen that could be hazardous? Where are our chemicals kept? Hint, ask Mrs Penton § Many commercial cleaning products have to be diluted, You must read the instructions to get the right concentration. § Read the Safety Data Sheet for Selleys Oven Plus Heavy Duty Gel – Appendix 1
