December 16, 1987

TO: Bob Verville
FROM: Owen Black
Several years ago I asked Administration to exempt Food Service from buying a
meal ticket for the following reasons.
1.
Food Service employees are encouraged to taste and eat the food they
prepare and serve, as a means of encouraging quality and consistency.
If they won't eat what they prepare, we can't expect others to.
2.
They are expected to eat at end of meal service, since they cannot take
lunch break during the meal.
3.
They are expected to eat what is left on the line. Some menu items are
gone by end of regular meal service or have deteriorated considerably.
4.
Most employees receive 'free" food or meals when working unit

activities, day and camptrips, etc.
5.
Special Functions such as: Retirement parties, annual employee party,

Mt. Bell Christmas dinner, and numerous other functions are really
"extra" work for food service staff while others are usually there to
"enjoy".
Bob, with the changes in employee cafeteria meals recently, several have
expressed concern as to why they have to pay when food service doesn't. I've
usually given them these reasons and asked them to talk with you about their
concern if they wish.
Date Issued:8/83
3/03
POLICY:
It is the policy of Food Service operations that all Food Service employees shall
wearclean uniforms, hair nets, head bands, caps or other effective hair restraints;
maintian a high degree of personal cleanliness, and conform to hygienic
practices while on duty. Reference "Public Health Service Food Service
Sanitation Ordinance."
PURPOSE:
Standards of personal appearance and individual hygiene are established to
promote a consistent high level of employee cleanliness. Since Food Service
employees are our most important cotacts with customers and the general public,
the image they create must beone of an organization of competent professional
Food Service employees who take pride in superior personal standards to protect
the food served from contamination.
PROCEDURE:
Standards will be reviewed periodically with all employees during employee
meeting of inservice training sessions.
EMPLOYEE PRACTICES
Date Issued:8/83
3/03
General
(a) Employees shall consume food only in designated dining areas. An
employee dining area shall not be so designated if consuming food
there may result in contamination of other food, equipment, utensils or
other items needing protection.
(b) Employees shall not use tobacco in any form in any USH buildings or
State owned vehicles.
(c)Employees shall handle soiled tableware in a way that minimizes
contamination of their hands.
(d) Employees shall maintain a high degree of personal cleanliness and
shall conform to good hygienic practices during all working periods in the
food service establishment.
REASON:
The overall cleanliness and observation of good hygienic practices by an
employee include not only the personal cleanliness of the employee, but also the
way he performs his routine duties. This creates a situation where both factors
are interdependent, since an unclean employee cannot handle food in a sanitary
fashion, and, in a work situation, any employee soon accumulates excessive soil
if proper sanitary procedures are not observe. Smoking or eating by employees
anywhere but in designated areas.
Insanitary and unsightly personal practices such as scratching the head, placing
the fingers in or about the mouth or nose, or indiscriminate and uncovered
sneezing or coughing may not result in contamination of food, but may adversely
affect consumer confidence in the establishment. Careless handling of
unnecessary contact with, the soiled surfaces of tablewares or linens should be
avoided because it unnecessarily exposes employees to health hazards and
increases the possibility of disease transmission ie consumers.
EMPLOYEE HEALTH
Date Issued:8/83
3/03
Taken from "Food Service Sanitation Regulations - State of Utah Department of

Health manual dated May 20, 1980. Copy in Food Services Directors office.
(a) No person, while infected with a disease in a communicable form
that can be transmitted by foods or who is a carrier of organisms that
cause such disease or while afflicted with a boil, an infected wound, or
an acute respirtory infection shall work in a food service establishment in
any capacity in which there is a likelihood of such person contaminating
food or food - contact surfaces with pathogenic organisms or transmitting
diseases to other persons.
(b) The manager or person in charge of the establishment shall notify the
health authority when any employee of a food service establishment is
known or suspected of having a disease in a communicable form. It is
the responsibility of the employee to advise the employer of the
occurrence of the above disease, symptoms or conditions, and every
employee shall be advised of this responsibility upon his employment.
REASON:
Disease transmitted through food frequently originates from an infected food
service employee even though the employee shows little outward appearance of
being ill. A wide range of communicable diseases and infections may be
transmitted by infected food service personnel to other employees and to the
consumer through the contamination of food and through careless food-handling
practices. It is the responsibility of both management and staff to see that no
person who is affected with any disease that can be transmitted by food works in
any area of a food service establishment where there is a possibility of disease
transmission.
PERSONAL DRESS/BEHAVIOR
Date Issued:8/83
3/03
PERSONAL CLEANLINESS
Employees shall thoroughly wash their hands and the exposed portions of their
arms with soap and warm water before starting work, during work as often as is
necessary to keep them clean, and after smoking, eating, drinking, or using the
toilet. Employees shall keep their fingernails clean and trimmed.
REASON:
In order to prevent the contamination of food and food-contact surfaces, and the
resulting potential transmission of foodborne illness, it is essential that
employees observe strict standards of cleanliness and proper hygiene during
their working periods and before starting wor or returning to work after any
interruption of their food service activities.
CLOTHING
(a) The outer clothing of all employees shall be clean, and where
uniforms are not provided, clean aprons should be worn over street
clothes.
(b) Employees shall use effective hair restraints to prevent the
contamination of food or food-contact surfaces. All employees directly
involved in food preparation or utensil washing or storing operations are
required to wear hats, caps, or hairnets or other approved hair
coverings. Other employees shall keep hair under control at all times.
(c) Food Service employees wearing beards must keep them neatly
trimmed, and clean at all times while working.
REASON:
Hair restraints and the clothing of Food Service employees play important roles
in the prevention of food contamination and food-contact surface contamination.
Because of this, hair should be restrained to prevent any possibility of its entering
into food. Employees also must not wear clothing that is obviously soiled or
difficult to keep clean because food may be repeatedly contaminated by food
debris or other soil frnm the clothing of food handlers.

UTAH STATE HOSPITAL
ORIENTATION ABOUT CONFIDENTIALITY OF PATIENT

INFORMATION
Fair information practices dictate that a balance be maintained between the
public's right to inspect government documents and the individual citizen's right
to privacy. In order to protect the citizen's richt to privacy, the Utah State Hospital
has had patient information classified as confidential which is defined as follows:
"Confidential data" means data on individuals collected and maintained by state
covernment which is available only to appropriate aaencies for the acministration
and management of programs enacted by the Leoislature or by executive order,
to others with the express conseni of the individual, but not to the individual
himself. (UCA 63-2-61 [111)
Utah Code 63-2-87 states that: (1) Any person who violates any provision of this
act shall be quilty of a class B misdemeanor. (2) Any public employee who
willfully violates any provision of this act or the rules and regulations promulgated
under the act is subject to suspension without pay or discharge, after a hearing
as provided by law.
I understand that information atcut Utah State Hospital patients is confidential,
and I acree to honor confidentiality laws of the State of Utah. I will not take
patient information off Utah State Hospital crounds, nor will I make mention of
patient information outside Of Utah State Hospital.

REUSABLE CONTAINERS
Date Issued:8/83
3/03
Many health inspectional agencies document regulatory violations under the food
equipment and utensil category; specifically, the reuse of single service plastic
and glass food containers for storage of leftovers. Their reasoning behind
discouraging this practice is that they define single service to mean single usage,
and they seriously question the ability of these containers to be properly and
repeatedly sanitized.
However, research by ARA revealed that those food containers can be safely
reused, provided that the following conditions are met:
*The intended use of the container is not violated. If chemicals were originally
stored in the container; they may not be reused to store food stuff.
Plastic trash containers and liner bags may not be used to store foods - dry or
wet, refrigerated or unrefrigerated. Foods may react with the plastic and may
cause adulteration of the stored product.
Exception - The trash containers may be used if the food is kept in its original
container within the plastic container. Examples are large bags of rice, flour,
sugar, salt, noodles and dried beans.
*The container is smooth, corrosion, resistant, non-toxic, stable and
nonabsorbent under use conditions, and shall not impart odor, color or taste
(plastic and glass jar food containers already meet this standard in order to safely
ship foods).
*Containers are capable of being washed and sanitized by either passing these
items through an automatic dishwasher or manually washing them in a three
compartment sink.
*The cleaned and sanitized containers are inverted during storage, so that they
do not become contaminated before reusing.
NOTE:
Although food containers may be reused repeatedly, they are not to be used
INDEFINITELY. Discard the container when food contact surfaces become
scored or pitted; or in a condition that will prevent effective cleaning and
sanitizing.
