Muan-gun Implements Special Training for Food Poisoning Prevention in Social Welfare Facilities

For Social Welfare Facility Managers and Food Service Workers

[Muan=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Muan County conducted a special food poisoning prevention training on the 25th for 96 social welfare facility managers and meal service workers.

This special training was held targeting social welfare facilities used by children, the elderly, and people with disabilities, aiming to improve hygiene levels of social welfare facility workers and prevent food poisoning during the summer season, when the risk of food poisoning is high.

Since the main users of social welfare facilities are health-vulnerable groups at high risk of food poisoning accidents, and food poisoning outbreaks can lead to mass infections, it is essential to provide food poisoning prevention education to facility managers and cooking staff responsible for meal safety.

The training covered ▲Understanding food poisoning and current status of food poisoning occurrences ▲Causes and prevention methods of food poisoning by season ▲Personal and food material hygiene management ▲Hygiene management of group meal service facilities, emphasizing adherence to the six major food poisoning prevention rules: hand washing, eating cooked food, boiling food, cleaning and disinfecting, using separate knives and cutting boards, and maintaining proper storage temperatures.

A county official stated, “We hope this training will serve as an opportunity to enhance the capability to provide hygienic meals and operate food services safe from food poisoning,” adding, “We will continue to conduct education and publicity for food poisoning prevention management and do our best to ensure food poisoning safety management.”
