It is true that the primary food safety hazard is contamination of the food. Food going bad is also a hazard, although that could also be construed as a form of contamination by bacteria. You could, in theory, be injured by having a large quantity of food fall on top of you, which would only be a hazard in a food warehouse, if the food was not properly stored. If flour dust gets into the air, it is highly flammable and can explode, which is another kind of food safety hazard. If you fell into a huge vat of molasses, you could drown. So a variety of hazards are at least theoretically possible.
Even in an office, people work with chemicals (cleaning materials, for example) and may get into potentially hazardous situations, such as getting to items stored high up. Heath and safety training is intended to help people know what is hazardous and how to avoid the hazard.
Yes!
Answer is B
Fresh raspberries should be stored in the refrigerator, uncovered or at least not sealed. They will last longer if the air can get to them.
That will depend on the hazard of the substance- flammable, toxic, explosive, radiactive? It will need to be stored in a manner that it is secure, and separated from the conditions that would increase the hazard.
The primary hazard from hydrogen is fire, as it burns with an invisible flame. Hydrogen is stored in pressurized containers, so there is also a hazard associated with container leaks and the effects of pressure release (explosion or high velocity projectile motion). Hydrogen can also make other metal more brittle, degrading the strength of structures and containers.
Argon is an inert gas- it does not react with any other gasses. While fuel gasses (acetylene) and oxygen must be separated during storage due to the fire hazard, there IS no fire hazard from an inert gas. It may be stored with fuel gasses or with oxygen.
False.
A hazard relates to anything that could casue harm to somebody, whether it be a service user or a member of staff. A hazard could be a substance i.e. medication. If its stored in accessable cupboards, in reach of children, this is a hazard as anybody could get hold of. A simple example would be rugs in a care/ residential home. A rug is a hazard as people could trip of the edges.
Depending on what is being stored, where and how, there may be more, or less, than three storage hazard.
It is not good to eat uncovered food because many of the harmful microorganisms spoil the food making us fall ill
