Management & HACCPQuestion 256 of 320
Which situation is an imminent health hazard that would require the operation to consider ceasing operations?
a.A single burned-out light bulb over a storage shelf
b.A server calling in sick for the evening
c.A delivery arriving 20 minutes late
d.A grease fire that shut down the cook line and left the kitchen without a working hood
Explanation
A fire that disables essential equipment or damages the facility is an imminent health hazard because it can compromise safe food handling and the safety of the premises. Such events require the manager to stop affected operations and notify the regulatory authority. A late delivery or a burned-out bulb are routine issues, not imminent hazards.
