(FOOD (FISH) PROCESSING 10)
QUARTER 1-WEEK 4

INTRODUCTION

In this module, you will learn more about the possible defect of the tools
and equipment in Food (Fish) Processing and the procedure and practice in
workplace. You will have activities to align your competencies with those defects in
equipment at a workplace. Moreover, this module is designed to introduce proper
procedure in food processing workplace, its role in the business community to be
aware in some defects of the equipment to ensure the development and quality of
the product to be produce.

To start with this module, let us first understand defects and practice in
workplace.

The use of defective equipment can lead to a range of head and body
injuries, including injuries to the eyes and face. There are so many defects that
may encounter by in a food processing area that may lead in an accident. Once an
accident occurs in an area, the production will be interrupted and can cause a
production loss.

To avoid those circumstance, a food processing industry must be aware in

the proper practice and procedure in the workplace. And this will be discussing in
this module.

Below are the competencies you will master after finishing this module.

LEARNING COMPETENCY:

Select and Prepare Equipment for use (TLE_AFFP10-OE-Id-1)

DURATION
This module will be covered for one-week discussion.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

At the end of this module you are expected to:

1. identify the possible defects of tools and equipment in food processing;
2. apply the procedure in cleaning and sanitizing tools and equipment; and

Key points

In a Food Processing workplace, it is important to always observe the

functionality of every tools and equipment. Checking the defect of each tools is one
of the keys to know if it is ready to use. In this module you may encounter the
different defects in each kind of tools and equipment.

a. Entangled- cause to become twisted together with or caught in

b. Corroded- destroy or damage (metal, stone, or other materials) slowly by

chemical action.

c. Broken- no longer in one piece or in working order

d. Cracked- damaged and showing lines on the surface from having split
without coming apart

e. Leak- accidentally lose or admit contents, especially liquid or gas, through a

hole or crack.

Procedures and Practices in a Workplace

Safety in a working area requires frequent and continuous cleaning as well as a

clean-up at the end of each day. The purpose of this is to keep waste from
accumulating during the operating day. It involves careful organization, training work
scheduling and the best available equipment, method, and materials.

Cleaning and Sanitation Practices describing how the processing area and
equipment is cleaned must be documented. The process must consider what is to be
cleaned, how it is to be cleaned, when it is to be cleaned and who is responsible for the
cleaning and the evaluation of the cleaning. This will include the following details:
 List all the areas and equipment to be cleaned
 Set up cleaning schedule (the frequency for cleaning and sanitizing different
areas of the premises)
 Provide a full description of the cleaning procedures. Take note of the following:

1. Procedure in Cleaning Equipment and Instruments:

a. Wash all the equipment or instruments with soap.

b. Rinse with clean water.
c. Sanitize by dipping into approved sanitizer solution.
d. Remove from the solution.
e. Allow to air dry

2. Procedure in Sanitizing:
a. Prepare all the materials needed.
b. Measure a certain volume of chlorine and water.
c. Mix and dip the equipment / instruments into the mixture.
d. Remove from the sanitizer solution.
e. Dry thoroughly.
