Food Service Posters

Demand proper hygiene in your kitchen by hanging a hand washing poster Most people think that washing their hands consists of getting them wet, rubbing a little soap around and rinsing their hands off, all in under five seconds. For food safety, proper hand washing techniques must be enforced.

I recommend:  Show your employees exactly how to wash their hands with a poster from Black Mountain Safety & Health. Visualhealthresources.com also offers a great hand washing poster to install above your kitchen's hand sinks.

Ensure accurate temperature control with food service posters about safety Proper temperatures are critical to restaurants, not just because of food waste but because of safety standards. If something is not held at the right temperature for the right length of time, bacteria can breed and you can make your customers sick. The same goes for cooking times and temperatures.

I recommend:  Print out a poster of key temperatures for eggs from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. You can print a nice poster of general food safety rules from the World Health Organization.

Get any other food safety posters you need In addition to food safety signs and hand washing signs, you'll need a few others, like instructional signs and general safety signs. Check with your state's Department of Health to see which signs are required in your area.

I recommend:  Hang dishwashing posters from Business Know-How if your kitchen isn't equipped with an automatic dishwasher. Post a sign about safety in your storeroom; this poster from Wayspan explains set up and storage procedures.
