What should food workers do to prevent chemical hazards from contaminating food?

Food workers should take several precautions to prevent chemical hazards from contaminating food:

1. Proper Storage: Store chemicals away from food and food preparation areas. Use clearly labeled containers to avoid confusion.

2. Use Approved Chemicals: Only use chemicals that are approved for food service environments and follow the manufacturer's instructions for use.

3. Training: Ensure all food workers are trained in the safe handling and storage of chemicals.

4. Labeling: Clearly label all chemical containers with their contents and any hazard warnings.

5. Cleaning Procedures: Follow proper cleaning procedures to ensure that no chemical residues remain on surfaces that come into contact with food.

6. Spill Management: Have a plan in place for managing chemical spills, including immediate cleanup and disposal procedures.

7. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Use appropriate PPE when handling chemicals to prevent contamination.

By following these guidelines, food workers can significantly reduce the risk of chemical hazards contaminating food.
