A food worker who tests positive for the HIV virs is not a threat to food safety becase of HIV stats and shold not be restricted from food handling activities.

Poor personal hygiene increases the risk of food becoming contaminated. Food employees can contaminate food if they are sffering from a foodborne or gastrointestinal illness, if they have a lesion or ct, if they are living with someone who is ill, or if they do not properly wash their hands. A carrier is someone who carries pathogens and transmits them to others withot ever becoming ill himself. A food employee mst notify the person in charge if he is experiencing diarrhea, fever, vomiting, jandice, or a sore throat with fever. If a food employee is ill de to Norovirs, Salmonella Typhi, Shigella spp., Enterohemorrhagic or shiga toxin-prodcing Escherichia Coli, or Hepatitis A or Nontyphoidal Salmonella, he may not work in a food establishment.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) protects workers from discrimination and does not allow food managers to terminate or transfer employees who have a disease or illness that cannot be spread throgh food. Effective handwashing takes at least 20 seconds. Handwashing sinks may only be sed for handwashing and mst be accessible at all times. Hand antiseptics are not a replacement for effective handwashing. Gloves can become contaminated jst as easily as hands and are not a replacement for effective handwashing and good personal hygiene.

Food employee s hair mst be kept from contacting food, clean eqipment, tensils, linens, and nwrapped single-se items. The only jewelry item allowed on a food employee is a plain wedding band.

12 Chapter 3 Employee Health & Hygiene 55 Let s Discss George was the cook at a local restarant. Dring the week, George was sally the only person working in the kitchen despite the fact that there was a large lnch rsh on weekdays. From 11:00 A.M. ntil 2:00 P.M., George was very bsy working the grill and fryers. The owner and two wait staff were also there dring the week, bt they did not work in the kitchen. George had asked the owner several times to hire part-time help for the lnch rsh, bt the owner did not want to hire another cook. He told George, Making money is hard work, and that they needed to keep expenses low to compete with the other restarants in the area. When things were really bsy, George fond that he cold not get away from the grill at all. He took several steps to make working the lnch rsh a little easier. He tried to schedle his first break at 10:45 A.M. so he cold grab a qick smoke and se the rest room before it got too bsy. Since the closest handsink was at the rear of the kitchen, George started keeping a roll of paper towels near the grill so he cold wipe the grease off his hands as he made sandwiches and fried onion rings. He also fond working over the grill for long periods of time was easier if he kept a glass of water nearby. One day a sanitarian from the local health department told the owner that there had been a nmber of cases of foodborne illness reported. In each case the individal ate at the restarant three days earlier. George had not been feeling well either bt had not told the owner becase he needed the money and there was nobody else available to work in his place. The sanitarian collected food samples, closed the restarant, and sggested that George see a doctor immediately NSF International

He was being treated by his doctor for a Shigellosis infection. The health department confirmed 15 cases of Shigellosis from the otbreak. Fortnately for the owner, most of those who became ill were long-time cstomers who chose not to take legal action. However, bsiness at the restarant dropped abot 75%. Three weeks after reopening, the restarant went ot of bsiness permanently. 5) What were the costs of this foodborne otbreak?
