1. Lab Safety Objective: Identify food safety and sanitation rules and guidelines to maintain a safe and working environment.

2. Preventing Falls Don't leave objects or spills on the floor. Use a step ladder rather than a chair.

3. First Aid for Falls Don't move a person with broken bones unless necessary. Call medical help if head ache, dizziness, vomiting, or speech impairment occur following a head injury.

4. Preventing Cuts Keep knives sharp so you don't have to push as hard. Never catch a falling knife in mid-air. Wash knives separately. Don't use knives for anything but cutting.

5. Preventing Cuts Keep fingers away from mixer blades. Cut lids completely off cans and throw them out. Sweep up rather than pick up broken glass and wipe up tiny pieces with several thicknesses of damp paper towel.

6. First Aid for Cuts Stop severe bleeding with the pressure of a thick cloth; get medical help For minor cuts - wash with soap and water, blot dry and bandage.

7. Prevent Fire & Burns Don't put flammable materials near hot appliances. Avoid loose clothing with long sleeves. Use dry pot holders not towels. Store flammable materials away from heat. Wipe off the range after each use to avoid grease build up.

8. Prevent Fire & Burns Turn pan handles in toward the back of range. Remove pan lids so steam escapes away from you. Keep appliance cords out of the way.

9. Prevent Fire & Burns Use both hands to remove a pan from the oven. Turn off appliances/oven when cooking is finished. Lower food into fat with a spoon - not fingers.

10. In Case of Fire Turn off the appliance. Use baking soda instead of water to extinguish a fire. Use a fire extinguisher.

11. In Case of Fire If clothing catches on fire, drop to the ground and roll. Crawl on the ground to get out of a smoke- filled room.

12. First Aid for Burns Cool it with cold water; prolonged contact to ice will freeze tissue. Avoid ointments, grease and oil (they contribute to the cooking process of the burn).

13. First Aid for Choking If person can speak, cough or breath do nothing. Do the abdominal thrust procedure.

14. Prevent Electric Shock Keep water away from electrical appliances. Don't place electric cords near hot objects. Avoid octopus outlets (one outlet with many cords). Use heavy duty extension cords. Disconnect appliances before cleaning them.

15. Prevent Electric Shock Don't immerse electric appliances in liquid. Connect detachable cords to the appliances first then plug them in; Don't use damaged appliances. Keep metal away from the working parts of an appliance (don't use a fork to pull bread out of a toaster).

16. First Aid for Electric Shock Don't touch a person connected to electricity. Turn off the power, pull the plug, or pull the person away with a cloth loop.

17. What is UNSAFE in this Kitchen?

18. Personal Cleanliness Wash hands before food preparation; after sneezing, coughing, using the rest room, and touching the face or hair. Keep hair away from the face. Wear clean clothes/apron (dirty clothing has bacteria).

19. Personal Cleanliness Don't handle food if you have an open cut or sore (staph). Don't cook and taste food with the same spoon; licking fingers is prohibited. Wash hands after handling raw meat and eggs.

20. Kitchen Cleanliness Wipe up spills and remove dirty utensils. Wash the cutting board used for meat before cutting anything else on it. Don't wipe hands on dish towels; use separate towels so dishes don't get bacteria. Don't flip each other with dish towels or use a dish towel or dish cloth that has been dropped on the floor.

21. Kitchen Cleanliness Wash/dust off cans. Wash surfaces and cutting boards with bleach periodically.

22. Lab Safety

23. Review Identify the following practices as safe or dangerous. If dangerous, why?

24. Lab Safety Fran stored the cast-iron frying pan on the top shelf to get it out of harm’s way. Dangerous Heavy objects should be stored on low shelves so that you can reach them safely.

25. Lab Safety Jody put her long hair into a pony tail before she went into the kitchen to cook supper. Safe

26. Lab Safety Doris stapled the microwave cord in place to keep people from falling over it. Dangerous Electrical cords should never be stapled or otherwise punctured; doing so could result in dangerous electrical shocks.

27. Lab Safety Debra chose to use knives that were slightly dull so that she would not risk cutting herself. Dangerous Dull knives are actually more dangerous than sharp ones because you have to use more effort to cut with them.

28. Lab Safety When the French knife slipped out of Brenda’s fingers, she tried her best to catch it to prevent it from cutting her foot or damaging the floor. Dangerous You should never try to catch a sharp object such as a knife as it falls; doing so can cause a severe cut.

29. Lab Safety After the bread was finished baking, Josh cleaned the oven to prevent any crumbs or spills from catching fire. Safe

30. Lab Safety Kate used a damp paper towel to pick up bits of broken glass where the broom would not reach. Safe

31. Lab Safety In order to make sure they were free of any food residue, Dalton put the dirty steak knives into the dishwater to soak. Dangerous Never put utensils with sharp edges into dishwater where they cannot easily be seen; they may cut you.

32. Lab Safety Donald lifted the lid of the pan on the close side see if the mixture had thickened. Dangerous Never open the lid of a hot pan toward you; doing so can result in serious steam burns.

33. Lab Safety Bruce always turns pot handles toward the back or middle of the range. Safe

34. Lab Safety Beth mounted the paper towel rack right over the range so that the towels would be convenient to wipe up spills promptly. Dangerous The paper towels should be kept well away from the range to avoid the possibility of a fire.

35. Lab Safety Clare had the fire extinguisher removed from the kitchen so that her toddler son would not accidentally poison or injure himself, thinking it was a toy. Dangerous A fire extinguisher is an important, basic piece of kitchen equipment.

36. Lab Safety When Robert couldn’t find a potholder, he did what he believed was the next best thing and grabbed a dishcloth to take the casserole out of the oven. Dangerous Always use potholders or oven mitts to handle hot dishes.

37. Lab Safety Beverly stood to the side when she opened the oven door to avoid burning herself. Safe
