If you were sweeping and mopping the cellar what colour coded equipment would you use?
-
Red
-
Green
-
Yellow

Correct Answer
A. RedExplanation
The correct answer is red because red is typically used to indicate that a certain cleaning equipment is designated for use in high-risk areas, such as toilets or areas with potential biohazards. The cellar, being an enclosed and potentially damp area, can pose health risks if not properly cleaned. Therefore, using red color-coded equipment would help ensure that the equipment used in the cellar is not used in other areas of the house, reducing the risk of cross-contamination.Rate this question:

What should we do when closing the pub?
-
Leave some windows open and hope we don't get robbed
-
Leave all the doors and windows open
-
Lock all the windows and doors
-
Never close and work all day, everyday
Correct Answer
A. Lock all the windows and doorsExplanation
When closing the pub, it is important to lock all the windows and doors to ensure the security of the premises. Leaving some windows open and hoping not to get robbed is not a safe practice as it leaves the pub vulnerable to break-ins. Similarly, leaving all the doors and windows open is also not advisable as it poses a security risk. The correct approach is to properly secure the pub by locking all the windows and doors before leaving. The option of never closing and working all day, every day is not a practical solution as it is not feasible and would lead to exhaustion.Rate this question:

By refrigerating the food promptly and consuming it within three hours, the temperature is kept low enough to inhibit bacterial growth and ensure food safety.Rate this question:

Going home or heading to the car park may not be safe options, as the situation could be dangerous and unpredictable.

How long should we probe an item of food for?
-
30 seconds
-
1 minute
-
2 seconds
-
3 seconds
Correct Answer
A. 30 secondsExplanation
To ensure the safety and quality of the food, it is important to probe it for a sufficient amount of time.

This is particularly crucial for items such as meat, where the temperature needs to reach a certain level to kill any harmful bacteria and ensure that it is cooked thoroughly. By probing for 30 seconds, we can ensure that the food is safe to consume and prevent any potential foodborne illnesses.Rate this question:
