Personal HygieneQuestion 104 of 320
Which of these is a manager's responsibility (Person in Charge) regarding employee health under the Food Code?
a.Diagnosing employees' illnesses personally
b.Prescribing medication to sick staff
c.Ignoring symptoms if the restaurant is short-staffed
d.Ensuring employees report required symptoms and diagnoses, and taking the correct exclusion or restriction action
Explanation
The Person in Charge must ensure that food employees know to report required symptoms (vomiting, diarrhea, jaundice, sore throat with fever, infected wounds) and Big 6 diagnoses, and must apply the correct exclusion or restriction. The manager does not diagnose illness or prescribe medicine, and being short-staffed is never a valid reason to keep a sick handler working.
