A food preparation worker is responsible for a lot more than making sure something is delicious. Handling food products all day that are meant for others to consume means that they are susceptible to many potential illnesses, and have to stay healthy themselves to protect others. Below, you’ll find a list of training topics that are required for most Food Preparation Workers.
Emergency Evacuation OSHA Regulation: 1910.38(e)
If fire extinguishers are provided in your workplace and/or anyone will be evacuating during a fire or other emergency. See full OSHA regulation for more details.
When there is a change.
First Aid OSHA Regulation: 1910.266 App B
In the absence of a nearby hospital or clinic (more than 4 minutes away), a designated employee should be trained to render first aid. See full OSHA regulation for more details.
Retraining for life threatening emergencies should occur annually. Retraining for non-life-threatening response should occur ‘periodically’.
Personal Protective and Respiratory Equipment OSHA Regulation: 1910.132(f)
When an employee is required to wear PPE, they must be trained on its usage. See full OSHA regulation for more details.
