Food handling guidelines, especially important in aged care settings:

Food Handling Guidelines

1. Follow Policies: Adhere to your organisation’s food handling policies.
2. Report Illness: Inform your supervisor if you have symptoms like diarrhea, vomiting, fever, sore throat with fever, or jaundice, and seek medical advice.
3. Symptom-Free Return: Do not return to work until you have been symptom-free for 48 hours.
4. Report Infections: Notify your supervisor if you have any infected skin lesions (e.g., sores, boils, acne, cuts, abrasions) or discharges from the ears, nose, or eyes, and seek medical advice.
5. Report Unsafe Food: Inform your supervisor if you know or suspect any food is unsafe to eat.

These practices help protect the health of older adults, who are more vulnerable to food-borne illnesses. If you need more details or have any questions, feel free to ask!
