Facilities, Cleaning & PestsQuestion 293 of 320
A cook fills a spray bottle with degreaser from a bulk drum. What must be done before it goes on the shelf?
a.Label the working container with the common name of the chemical
b.Leave it blank since staff know what it is
c.Mark it only with the date
d.Store it inside a food container to save space
Explanation
Any working container that a chemical is transferred into must be labeled with the common name of that chemical, so no one mistakes it for something else. Unlabeled or mislabeled containers are a leading cause of chemical-contamination incidents. Reusing food containers for chemicals is prohibited because it invites dangerous mix-ups.
