the protection of workers in their employment from risks resulting from factors adverse to health;

the placing and maintenance of workers in an occupational environment adapted to physical and mental needs;

the adaptation of work to humans.

Successful occupational health and safety practice requires the collaboration and participation of both employers and workers in health and safety programmes, and involves the consideration of issues relating to occupational medicine, industrial hygiene, toxicology, education, engineering safety, ergonomics, psychology, etc.

6.4 Food hygiene

Maintaining high levels of personal and kitchen hygiene are important and effective ways to stop germs from spreading.

Wash your hands and nails with hot, soapy water before handling food, between handling cooked and uncooked foods, and after going to the toilet.

Rinse your hands well and dry them on a clean hand towel, a disposable paper towel, or under a hand dryer. Wet hands transfer germs more effectively than dry hands.

Use different cloths for different jobs (eg washing up and cleaning surfaces). Wash them regularly on the hot cycle or soak in a dilute solution of bleach.

Wipe down and disinfect surfaces and utensils regularly, using a detergent or dilute solution of bleach - always read the safety instructions first.

Wash up using hot, soapy water - use rubber gloves if necessary.

Don't handle food if you have stomach problems such as diarrhoea and vomiting, or if you're sneezing or coughing frequently.

Cover up cuts and sores with waterproof plasters.

If possible, remove rings, watches and bracelets before handling food. Germs can hide under these.

Bacteria can spread from raw food, in particular meat, to food that has already been cooked or is eaten raw, such as salads.

Use separate chopping boards for preparing raw meat, poultry and seafood and for fresh produce such as salads, fruit and vegetables.

Never use a marinade that has already been used on raw meat for cooked food, unless it has been boiled thoroughly.

Always use a clean plate to serve food.

After using a knife or other utensil on raw meat, clean it thoroughly before using it on other foods.

Storing food correctly

It's very important that food is stored in the right place (eg fridge or freezer) and at the correct temperature.

Always check labels for guidance on where and how long to store food, in particular, fresh or frozen food.

Store fresh or frozen food in the fridge or freezer within two hours of purchase - sooner if the weather is hot.

Allow meal leftovers to cool to room temperature before storing them in the fridge, ideally within two hours of preparation. If necessary, divide leftovers into smaller portions to help food cool more quickly.

Use up leftovers within two days. Cooked rice should only be kept for one day.

Store raw food such as meat in airtight containers at the bottom of the fridge to prevent juices or blood from dripping onto other food.

Defrost frozen foods in the fridge. Place them on a plate or in a container as they defrost so they don't drip on or contaminate other foods.

Don't overfill the fridge - food may not cool properly.

Keep the fridge at less than 5°C and the freezer at less than -18°C - consider getting a thermometer.

Don't store opened tins of food in the fridge - transfer the contents to a suitable airtight container instead.

Cooking food safely

If food isn't cooked at a high enough temperature, bacteria can still survive. The following advice will help you to cook safely.

Follow the recipe or packet instructions for cooking time and temperature, ensuring the oven is pre-heated properly.

Food should be piping hot (steaming) before serving.

Take special care that pork, sausages, burgers and poultry are cooked through and aren't pink in the middle. Using a clean skewer, pierce the meat. When cooked properly, the juices run clear. Lamb and beef joints and steaks can be cooked rare, but must be thoroughly sealed (browned) on the outside.

Don't cook foods too far in advance. Keep cooked foods covered and piping hot until served.

When microwaving, stir food well from time to time to ensure even cooking.

Only reheat food once and serve piping hot.

Use a food thermometer to check that food is cooked to the right temperature.

Eggs contain harmful bacteria which can be dangerous to pregnant women, older people and babies. Don't serve eggs with runny yolks, or egg-containing foods that won't be cooked, for example homemade mayonnaise.
