Days 5-7- Quiz & Role Play
Quiz Questions

Question #1

Why should aprons be removed when leaving the kitchen or using the restroom?
 
Answer #1

Wearing an apron outside of the kitchen or inside a restroom increases the chances of the apron becoming contaminated, which can then transfer to food.
  
Question #2

Why is it important to wear a clean apron?

 
Answer #2

Any germs, dust hair, etc. can easily spread from your apron to food. Aprons also prevent your clothes from coming into contact with food or food contact surfaces.

Role Play

Scenario: You see a fellow associate cleaning their station with a wiping cloth. The associate then hangs the soiled wiping cloth from their apron string. What is wrong with this scenario?  


Solution: The apron and wiping cloth are now contaminated. The risk of cross-contamination is increased if the associate uses the wiping cloth or something touches their apron. Aprons should not be used for storage of soiled items. Wiping cloths should always be stored back in the bucket after use.

SAFE Brief: Disposable Glove Training   

Day 1 - Introduction
Day 2 - Conditions

Touching ready-to-eat (RTE) food with dirty hands is one of the main ways people get sick from food. Using disposable gloves helps prevent harmful bacteria from spreading onto the food we touch and handle. Wearing gloves can prevent people from getting sick, but only when we wear and change them correctly. Glove use alone cannot stop the spread of harmful bacteria. Food workers must also wash their hands often and correctly.

When should you wear or change disposable gloves?


What must you always do before wearing disposable gloves?

Days 5-7- Quiz & Role Play
Quiz Questions

Question #1

Can you handle raw foods with bare-hand contact?

Answer #1

Yes. Disposable gloves are not required when handling raw food if it will be cooked, which will kill any harmful bacteria that may have been on your hands. However, it’s important to wash your hands before and IMMEDIATELY after handling raw food


Question #2

Why is it important to wash hands before wearing and/or changing gloves?

  
Answer #2

Your hands can contaminate the gloves while putting them on, and the gloves can contaminate your hands while taking gloves off. It’s important to remember that gloves do not replace handwashing.

Role Play

Scenario: You are assembling sandwiches when you are asked to help prepare chicken salad for a lunch rush. Your new task is to dice cooked chicken. You are already wearing gloves from assembling sandwiches. Do you need to change gloves? Why?


Solution: Yes – the gloves would need to be changed because ingredients from the sandwiches may contain allergens (such as wheat from bread), which can contaminate the salad. Someone may order the salad thinking it’s wheat-free and can have a serious allergic reaction.

Question #1

How do I know what a safe braking distance is? 

Answer #1

Find a marker on the side of the road, after the vehicle in front of you passes that marker, you should be able to count to three seconds (one one-thousand, two one-thousand, etc.) before you pass that marker. Be sure to increase this time in inclement weather (snow, rain, high winds).

When was routine maintenance (e.g. oil change) last done? How is equipment/cargo stored in my vehicle? Do I perform a pre-drive inspection of my vehicle? Do I always follow the rules of the road?
 

Role Play

Scenario: What should the pre-drive inspection of my vehicle include?    


Solution: Check around the outside of the vehicle for obstacles. Inspect the headlights, windshield, side and rear windows, turn signals, brake lights and taillights. Inspect your tires for obvious loss of air or puncture. Check under your vehicle for leaks. Look inside your vehicle. Make sure your seat, steering wheel, headrest, rear view and side view mirrors are properly adjusted before driving.

Stirring and rotating foods frequently helps to keep the food hot by mixing the hotter food at the bottom of the well with cooler food on the top.

Question #2

How often should you monitor temperatures in hot storage units?

Answer #2

Temps of any unit storing cold food must be verified and recorded twice a day; food held cold for service must be recorded at least once every 2 hours.


Role Play

Scenario: You are verifying the temperature of food in a steam table and notice it’s at an unsafe temperature. Why may the steam table be out of temperature, and what should you do?


Solution: The food may need to be rotated, stirred, or covered; there may be too much food stored in the unit; or the unit may need maintenance repair. Immediately report temperature issues to your supervisor.

Reaching Out
Take the person seriously:


Ask questions about how they’re feeling,

 listen actively and with compassion



Listen for warning signs, such as feeling overwhelmed, trapped, or being a burden


Listen without judgement and
 reassure them that you care


Let them know that help is available, and
 that it’s time to talk to a professional

Practice
Here are a few examples of what to do if someone tells you they’re struggling:

If the person sounds overwhelmed, trapped or like they feel like a burden, those are all signs that they may be in distress and could benefit from professional support.


=======================================


You can ask them about connecting to a health professional by paying attention to the words they use and using their language.

“It sounds really tough when you say that you are overwhelmed and that you feel like a burden. Sometimes when people feel this way, it can be helpful to talk to a mental health professional. Have you thought about talking to a professional about what you’re going through?”

=======================================

If the person shares that they are unsure about connecting to a health professional.

“I know connecting with a professional for help can be overwhelming. Talking to a health professional can help us process any of the challenges we’re facing, and we all face serious things in life.”
 
=======================================


If the person refuses help and you are concerned, provide them with safe and confidential resources

that can provide them with additional information and support.

“Thank you for your honesty. If you’re not ready to talk to a mental health professional, I’d like to provide you with a few confidential resources.” (see below) 


=======================================


End the conversation by reiterating your support.


“Remember, we all have challenges at times, and I’ll continue to be here to support you.”

Days 5-7- Quiz & Role Play
Quiz Questions

Question #1

How do you select the proper length ladder for your job? 

Answer #1

It is unsafe to use a ladder too short or long. The ladder will indicate the highest standing level, use that to choose what length of ladder to use.

Question #2

How do you determine the max weight a ladder can safely hold? 
  
Answer #2

Determine the weight (or duty) rating of the ladder using the safety label on the ladder and check this against the amount of weight your ladder will be supporting – add your weight, equipment, clothing, and any tools/supplies.

Role Play

Scenario: Describe how  to inspect ladders correctly.


Solution: Ladders should always be inspected for defects prior to use. Look for loose bolts or screws, sharp edges, loose, missing or damaged rungs, and a damaged rope on an extension ladder. Be sure to tag and remove any deficient ladders found during this pre-use inspection.


Scenario: Describe how to select the right type of ladder for the job. 


Solution: First evaluate your work environment and job conditions, this will determine your ladder material choice. For example, do not use metal ladders for electrical work, whereas if there are no power sources at your jobsite then metal is the lightest weight ladder. Then evaluate for safety conditions for type of ladder, height and duty rating needed – will there be an uneven surface, what weight will be carried and what height is needed to reach to safely complete the work?

Listen to their story:

When they start talking, it’s

time to listen with compassion.
 If needed, use prompts to have
them continue


Ask directly about suicide:

If you think they may be thinking

 about suicide, trust your gut

 and ask them directly




Encourage them to seek help:
