Cut Prevention • Use the correct knife for the job and use it properly. Knives should be sharp and in good condition. Sharp knives are safer than dull ones. • Always cut on a cutting board and away from your body. • Never put knives where they cannot be seen, like under a towel or in a sink full of soapy water. • If you accidently drop a knife, let it fall. Catching it could be more dangerous. • Clean up large pieces of broken glass first. Then sweep or use a damp towel/ mop to clean up small pieces. Drain the water out of the sink before trying to remove broken pieces.
Burn Prevention • Use oven mitts or potholders to handle hot items. Never use a towel, washrag, or T-shirt. • Work carefully with hot oil and grease. It cooks hotter than water and will splatter if wet. Only fry things that are thawed and dry. • Turn handles in toward the middle or side of the stove. Handles hanging off the edge can be knocked over and hot food will be spilled. • Don’t wear loose clothing. It can knock over food or catch on fire.
Preventing Falls • Keep floors clean and dry. Clean up spills immediately. Use cooking spray over counter or sink and away from the floor. • Always walk, never run. • Wear low- heeled, non- slip shoes with a closed- toe.
Preventing Poisoning • Keep cleaning chemicals in original, labeled containers. • Read labels carefully and only use as directed. Never mix chemicals. • Clean the kitchen with products that are “safe for food contact surfaces” or rinse counters after cleaning. • Store chemicals away from food. Leaks and drips could contaminate food. • Do not spray any chemical near foods.
Preventing Shocks • Use appliances correctly. Turn off and unplug when not in use. Do not yank on the cord to unplug it. • Water and electricity do not mix. Only use an appliance with dry hands on a dry surface. • To clean an appliance, take apart the non- electric pieces and wash in warm soapy water. Dry well. Clean the electric base with a damp cloth (DO NOT put it in water)

The Four Steps to Food Safety • Clean • Separate • Chill • Cook *When in doubt, throw it out*
Clean (with soap!) • Wash hands for at least twenty seconds before handling food. Make sure to use warm water and soap. • To wash dishes, plug sink and fill with hot water and a small squirt of soap. Clean dish inside and out with washrag or scrub brush. Rinse under cool water. Check to make sure all food and suds are removed before drying with a clean kitchen towel. • Clean counters and surfaces with kitchen cleaner and a washrag or paper towel • Rinse fruits and vegetables before eating them.
Separate: Don’t Cross-Contaminate! • Store meat, poultry, and fish separately in the fridge. Don’t let juices drip on other food! • Wash cutting boards after cutting raw foods. • Use a clean platter for cooked foods. Don’t put them back in raw juices! • For cleaning, use a fresh washrag or sponge. Or use a paper towel and throw germs in the trash. • Keep hair out of food by wearing a hairnet or pulling back into a ponytail.
Chill & Cook • Keep fresh foods out of the temperature danger zone. (40-140 degrees Fahrenheit) • Cold foods should be kept below 40 and hot foods should be kept above 140 • Fresh foods should not be kept at room temperature for more than 2 hours. • Frozen foods should be thawed in the refrigerator or the microwave. They should not be left on the counter or in the sink. • Foods that are not properly cooked to the correct temperature or kept at the correct temperature may grow bacteria or viruses that cause illness.
