LTS 3000 vessel belong to Sapura Crest and Indian based company. The catering services is provided by Sodexo (M) Sdn Bhd. As part of the client requirement for food hygiene and safety standard, BJ from licence2halal.com was send to conduct the Food Handler Training for the catering crew inside the vessel at ASL Shipyard in Singapore. Maintaining the safety standard all the time is very critical for the LTS 3000 crews including the catering crew the prevent any risk of food contamination and food poisoning.
To prevent food poisoning we must identify the risk of contamination. It can come from 3 sources - Biological, Chemical and Physical. These are the highlight during the food handler training. The human error is one of the most common factor contributed to the food contamination. Therefore the individual personal hygiene practice together with the team work that are discipline to maintain the hygiene standard all the time is very critical.
By understanding the source of food contamination the catering crew will have a better understanding on methods of preventing them. This will involve the hygiene issues on premise, system, equipment, garbage and pest management. The training is important to be basic, zooming on the “do’s and dont’s” of the food handler when they are handling the food. This together with repeat training from time to time will maintain and improve food hygiene and safety standard. Congratulation to LTS 3000 management for their commitment in food hygiene and safety standard. All the best to them.
