Practices (GMP)
GMP is a tool aimed at
promoting local industry
competitiveness and
profitability by ensuring
that products are
consistently
manufactures, packed,
repacked or held to

5. Proper Handling of Cutting
Tools
• Identify the right cutting tool for the job.
• Handle cutting tools with care. Knives can
break and cause an accident in the workplace.
• Keep knives sharp. This will require less effort
to cut through food.
• When carrying a knife from one section to
another, hold the knife pointing down at your
side with the sharp edge facing behind
you. Let others know that you are passing by
with a sharp object.
• Always use a chopping board.
• Store knives properly.

6. Fire Safety
The following are the measures you can take to
ensure fire safety:
Inspect wires, plugs, gas range, and other
equipment on a regular basis.
Extinguish the fire! Pull pin. Aim at the base.
Squeeze handle. Sweep from side to side.
Not all fires are the same. Use the right Class of
fire extinguisher for every type of fire.
▫ Class A - ordinary combustibles such as wood and
paper
▫ Class B - combustible liquids and gases such as
alcohol, LPG, grease
▫ Class C - electrical fire
▫ Class D - combustible metals such as aluminum

7. 3: 5S of Good Housekeeping
5S of Good Housekeeping is another
management approach for productivity
and quality that focuses on maintaining
orderliness and cleanliness in the
workplace. It is derived from the
Japanese words:
seiri, seiton, seiso,
seiketsu, and shitsuke.

8. Distinguish between
what is needed and not
needed.
Clean, and look for ways
to keep it clean and
organized.
Secure a place for
everything and
everything should be in
its place.
Establish guidelines and
monitor.
Commit to a clean and
organized workplace.
Stick to a cleaning
schedule.

9. 4: Cleaning and Sanitizing
Equipment, Tools, and Utensils
Keeping things clean in the workplace
prevents food spoilage and the spread of food-
borne diseases. By cleaning and sanitizing
equipment, tools, and utensils, you can ensure
the safety of the food being handled as well as
the safety of those working in the area.

10. Tips in Cleaning and Sanitizing
Tools
•Pre-cleaning and main cleaning
can be combined if there is only
light contamination.
•If using a hose to wash
equipment, use high-volume, low-
pressure hose in order to prevent
splashing and spraying pathogens
onto surfaces.
•Sanitize items that come into
direct contact with food or with the
hands of the food handlers.
•Sanitizers work best at the correct
dilution. Be sure to check the label
before applying them.
•Always label chemical agents.
•Store chemical agents and
cleaning materials away from
where food is being handled.
•Be sure to clean and dry the
cleaning equipment.

11. Cleaning
Cleaning means to remove unnecessary and
unpleasant matter like garbage, food waste,
and grease.
Cleaning equipment differs from cleaning tools and
utensils. Equipment is usually bigger and involves
electrical wiring.
It is always best to refer to the manufacturer’s
instructions when cleaning and sanitizing
equipment. However, there are general rules that
must be observed when cleaning equipment:
• Make sure that the power is turned off and power
cords are unplugged.
• Gas equipment should be turned off.
• Proper protective clothing must be worn when
cleaning equipment that deals with chemicals.
• Ventilation should be provided.

12. Detergents remove dirt and
grease but they do not kill
bacteria and other
microorganisms. This is why
cleaning is followed by
sanitizing.

13. Sanitizing
Sanitizing involves the use of
a chemical agent to
reduce the number of
bacteria to safe levels.
Sanitizing generally consists of
three steps:
• Soaking tools and utensils in
hot, clean, and potable water
(75 °C) for at least 2 minutes.
• Immersing in sanitizing
solution for at least one
minute.
• Leaving tools and utensils to
air dry in a draining rack.
Preparing a
Sanitizing Solution
1 Teaspoon Bleach +
1 Gallon Water

14. 5: Proper Waste Disposal
Solid Waste Segregation
Waste/Refuse should be separated as:
• Recyclables
• Trashes
• Food Materials

15. Dry papers/cardboards,
plastics/rubbers,
glasses, broken bottles,
metals and minerals.
Recyclables
Trashes
Ashes, rice hulls, chaffs,
husks, shells, cobs,
papers, cardboards.
Food Materials
Food leftovers,
kitchen/cooking wastes,
food washings, vegetable
trimmings, fruit peelings,
egg shells, bones, entrails,
and gills.

16. Chemical waste is any solid, liquid, gaseous matter
that when improperly managed or disposed of may
pose harmful effects on the environment and to
the surrounding community. Examples:
• Used oil
• Contaminated syringe
• Denatured alcohol
• Industrial cleaners
• Pesticides
• Batteries
• Degreasing solvents
Chemical Waste Management

17. 1. Identify the type of
chemical waste.
2. Select appropriate
container.
3. Label chemical waste.
Include chemical name,
quantity, the date the waste
was generated, place of
origin (what part of the
production line, room
number), assigned
personnel. For mixtures,
include each chemical along
with their weight or
volume.
4. Store in appropriate
cabinets and wait for the
Pollution Control Officer to
collect.
