A conjunction is a part of speech that is used to connect words, phrases,
clauses, or sentences. Conjunctions are considered to be invariable grammar
particle, and they may or may not stand between items they conjoin.
Underline the conjunctions used in information sheet.

Kitchen tools make cooking easier. There are different kinds of kitchen tools, utensils,
small appliances and cookware in the market. Each has a different use and function.

A. Knives
Sharp, quality knives are important in the kitchen. They cut better and are easier to work
with than dull knives. Select knives that are light, comfortable and balanced in your hand. It
is necessary to have the following knives in your kitchen:

1. Paring Knife is helpful for peeling fruits and vegetables.

2. Serrated Knife is ideal for cutting bread.
3. Chef's Knife is useful for most cutting and chopping jobs.

B. Cutting Boards
Always keep your counter tops clean and scratch-free. It is important to have separate
cutting boards for meat and vegetables to prevent germs and cross contamination. Cutting
boards are made of many different materials from wood to plastic.

D. Spoons and Whisks

Long-handled, wooden or plastic spoons are necessary for mixing and stirring. Other
useful spoons are slotted spoons for draining, ladles for serving soups and gravies, and
pasta spoons for keeping pasta separated. Whisks are useful tools for mixing sauces,
pancake batter, and whipping egg whites. An electric hand mixer is important for mixing
cakes and whipping potatoes.

E. Tongs and Spatulas

Tongs are useful for many jobs including turning food and come in a variety of sizes.
Spatulas come in different materials like metal or plastic and their purpose is to slide under
food like burgers, cookies or pancakes.

F. Mixing Bowls
Mixing bowls are essential in every kitchen. A variety of sizes is useful for mixing
ingredients and also for serving food. These come in many colors and materials from
stainless steel, to plastic or colored glass.

G. Colander
You need to have at least one colander for draining liquid from canned or cooked
vegetables and pasta. Use it for washing fresh fruits and vegetables. It's a good idea to
select a colander with stand, so it doesn't sit in the liquid which is draining in the sink.

H. Miscellaneous Tools
A grater for shredding, shaving and zesting is a versatile tool to have in the kitchen. Also,
useful is a can opener, bottle opener. A potato masher and vegetable peeler are always part
of a well-stocked kitchen. A kitchen timer is important for timing recipes accurately. A meat
thermometer will assure the proper temperature for food safety.

I. Safety tools of and equipment

The safety of tools and equipment is not only the concern of the management, but of the
workers who use the equipment as well. Proper maintenance and safety of tools and
equipment are important for the following reasons:

1. Good quality of service. Modern equipment has built-in controls, thermometers and
timing and regulating devices. A breakdown of these devices may affect the quality of
the food being prepared and caused slowdown in production and service.

2. Sanitation. Mechanical function of equipment like the refrigerator and freezers

encourages the development of disease causing bacteria. Negligence of their
cleanliness leads to the growth of food-borne bacteria.

3. Fire prevention. Grease and dirt that gather in stove rims and hoods are fire
hazards. Daily inspection of grease collecting equipment will minimize the danger of
fire.

4. Safety. Most food service accident happens in the kitchen. This is due to lack of
knowledge and training of food worker in the use of tools and equipment.

5. Less cost of production. Expenses will be minimized if tools and equipment are in
good condition.

Safety measures in the use of tools and equipment.

1. Store knives, choppers and cutting blades in designated places. Label them.
2. Repair broken tools and equipment immediately.
3. Check wiring of electrical equipment regularly. Report kitchen equipment that are not
functioning.
4. Handle fragile tools or those tools made of glass with care. Those with breaks should
be discarded.
5. Store tools and equipment in a clean dry place. Do not keep them when wet.

OPERATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH PROCEDURES,

PRACTICES AND REGULATIONS
Occupational health should aim at: the promotion and maintenance of the
highestdegree of physical, mental and social well-being of workers in all
occupations; the prevention among workers of departures from health caused
by their working conditions; the protection of workers in their employment from
risks resulting from factors adverse to health; the placing and maintenance of
the worker in an occupational environment adapted to his physiological and
psychological capabilities; and, to summarize, the adaptation of work toman
and of each man to his job.
The main focus in occupational health is on three different objectives:
1. Maintain and promote workers’ health and working capacity;
2. Improve working environment and work; and
3. Develop work organizations and working cultures in a direction which supports
health and safety at work and in doing so also promotes positive social climate
and smoothoperation and may enhance productivity of the undertakings.
Safety procedures, practices in the workplace contribute to:
1. Low rates of accident;
2. Good employee morale;
3. Employee satisfaction;
4. Reduction of insurance and other operating cost; and
5. Reduction of losses of employees due to disabling accidents.
Some health and safety procedures and practices
A. Personal hygiene practices
1. Keep your hands always clean and nails cut short.
2. Wear comfortable clean clothes.
3. Use of PPE when working.
4. Remove jewelries especially when working with food.
5. Use gloves when hands are thoroughly washed.
Good housekeeping practice.
1. Keep the area clean. Plan and implement a program of regular cleaning of
the equipment and all other areas.
2. Eliminate the possible breeding of flies. Screen the house and use effective
insecticides whenever necessary.
3. Exterminate rodents. Prevent their increases by not leaving food and dirty
dishes on the table or in the sink. Keep foods likely to be eaten by rats in rodent-
proof containers.
C. Observance of safety precautions. The observance of safety precaution to
promote work efficiency and to avoid accident is important. Accidents are
caused either by people themselves, by unsafe environment, or defective
equipment. Accidents are caused by people are due to haste, distraction or
failure to observe safety regulations. Carelessness causes slips, falls, burns and
bumps and the destruction of things in the workplace. Accidents in the
laboratory area are caused by contact with exposed electrical tools or kitchen
equipment and short circuits.
Workplace safety checklist
OSH requirements mean that managing risk in the workplace is more than
a priority. It is a fundamental issue of effective workplace management.
Occupational safety and health risks exist, even though they may not be as
apparent as the obviously dangerous machines or situations that you would
normally find in a warehouse or factory or industry.
Check the guide below for some of the OSH responsibilities for the workers to
ensure their personal safety.
1. First Aid. The requirement for a first aid kit or a trained first aid person will
depend on the number of people in the workplace. Where 25 or more people
are located in a workplace on you need to train a first aid person. There is also
the requirement for a first aid kit, register of injuries book and a notice specifying
who to contact in the workplace if first aid is required. A first aid room is only
required where there are 200 employees in an office workplace.
2. Ergonomics. Ergonomics is crucial in offices yet commonly overlooked. A
Work station has correct ergonomics if the alignment of the computer screen,
Key board, person and chair is in a straight line, with no twisting of the head or
body. The height of the screen, keyboard and chair will also be important for
good ergonomics. A footrest and document holder may be required,
depending on the situation.
3. Fire control. Sources of ignition and combustible materials should be
separated to avoid potential fires. Fire equipment should be available and
unobstructed, with some employees trained in its use. The complexity of your
evacuation system will depend on the size of the business, number of floors
involved and number of people to be evacuated.
Sources of ignition include heat sources (photocopiers, computers, printers,
portable heaters) and electrical sources including damaged electrical cables
and piggy-backed double adaptors. Cleaning cloths in cleaners' cabinets can
also be sources of heat, depending on the chemicals used and how the
materials are stored.
4. Emergency Evacuation. Have a documented evacuation procedure, which
has been communicated to all employees, and has been practiced as an
evacuation drill at least once each year. The evacuation procedure should
differentiate between bomb threat and other types of emergencies, as the
procedure will vary slightly. Your office area will have a different procedure to
other parts of the business if you are part of a high rise office block while other
areas are in an industrial estate.
Determine an assembly point, and keep a record of people's names to
determine who might be left in the building. This will be useful for the emergency
services if a rescue is required. Consideration should also be given to first aid
provision at the assembly point and the identification of a person who is trained
in first aid should anyone be injured. Also include in your procedure the method
to be used to contact the emergency services, for example whether you will
contact them before or after you evacuate the building.
5. Electrical Hazards. All electrical cables should be periodically inspected for
integrity and replaced if damaged. The practice of 'piggy backing' double
adaptors should be eliminated as this can create a fire risk. If there are
insufficient power points, a power board is a safer option. Alternatively, you
could have an electrician install more power points. Electrical switchboards
should be checked to ensure that neither combustible materials nor flammable
liquids are stored nearby.
6. Chemical Safety. You have legal obligations even if your office keeps very
small quantities of dangerous chemicals. These include addressing hazardous
substances requirements in the OSH Regulation 2001. This requires you keep a
register of hazardous substances, copies of material safety data sheets,
precautions in place to prevent injury to anyone using the chemicals, and
assessing whether control measures (gloves, glasses etc.) are sufficient. All
containers must be labeled with the product name, and any hazards
associated with it, for example flammable, corrosive, poison etc.
7. Housekeeping. Untidy offices with materials placed in boxes or in piles on the
floor create a hazardous environment - not only a trip hazard, but could
indicate that there is insufficient storage space, insufficient time for storing
materials, or just poor management of the work area.
Many workplaces have difficulty finding a temperature setting that all workers
find comfortable. The recommended range is 22 to 26 person's egress from the
workplace, as well as leading to injury if a person is constantly moving around a
cluttered work area.
8. Temperature. Many workplaces have difficulty finding a temperature setting
that all workers find comfortable. The recommended range is 22 to 26 person's
egress from the workplace, as well as leading to injury if a person is constantly
moving around a cluttered work area. Set the temperature at 22 or 23 degrees
and make adjustments from that point.
Check that the air conditioning reaches all areas in the office, and that windows
receiving substantial quantities of sunlight are not causing problems.
9. Manual handling. Whenever staff are required to lift, shift or move heavy
items, for example moving stationery supplies in and out of cabinets and
printers/photocopiers, or moving quantities of mail, computers, printers and
other office furniture, there are manual handling procedures that should be
used to avoid injury.
