Question 1 of 7You wake up with a high fever on a work day. What should you do?
  1. Take a pill for the fever and go to work as usual
  2. Go to work and wear a mask for the whole shift
  3. Tell your supervisor and do not work with food
  4. Go to work, but only wash the pots and the dishes
The right answer: C. Tell your supervisor and do not work with food

Here is why: Fever can be a sign of an illness that spreads through food. Saudi rules say a worker with fever must be stopped from food work.

Question 2 of 7If you start vomiting at work, you can finish your shift first and then tell your supervisor.
The right answer: False

Here is why: False. Vomiting can spread germs to food. Tell your supervisor at once and stop food work.

Question 3 of 7Why must a sick food worker stay away from food?
  1. Germs from his body can get into the food
  2. Customers do not like to see sick people working
  3. Sick workers work too slowly
  4. Medicine can make food taste bad
The right answer: A. Germs from his body can get into the food

Here is why: A sick worker can pass germs to food with his hands, breath or body liquids. People who eat the food can then get sick.

Question 4 of 7You have a bad cold. Liquid keeps running from your nose. What is correct under Saudi rules?
  1. Wear gloves and a mask, and keep on cooking
  2. Wipe your nose with a tissue and keep cooking
  3. Work only with cooked food, not with raw food
  4. Tell your supervisor and stop handling food
The right answer: D. Tell your supervisor and stop handling food

Here is why: Saudi rules say a worker must be stopped from food work if liquid comes from his nose or eyes. Gloves and a mask do not stop these germs from getting on hands and food.

Question 5 of 7A co-worker tells you he had diarrhoea all night. He asks you not to tell anyone. What should you do?
  1. Keep his secret and help him with his work
  2. Tell the supervisor so he stops food work
  3. Give him some medicine and let him keep working
  4. Ask him to wear two pairs of gloves at work
The right answer: B. Tell the supervisor so he stops food work

Here is why: Diarrhoea can spread through food to many customers. The supervisor must know, so the worker is stopped from food work.

Question 6 of 7The plaster on your cut finger gets wet and starts to come off while you work. What should you do?
  1. Keep working and fix it later, at the end of the shift
  2. Take it off and let the cut dry in the air while you work
  3. Put on a new clean plaster, then wash your hands
  4. Hold it in place with some tape from the kitchen
The right answer: C. Put on a new clean plaster, then wash your hands

Here is why: A loose plaster can fall into food, and the cut must stay covered. Saudi rules say to wash your hands after you change a dressing.

Question 7 of 7A worker has a cut on his hand. It is red and swollen, and yellow liquid (pus) comes out. What is correct?
  1. He must not handle food until it heals
  2. He can work if he covers it with a plaster
  3. He can work if he wears two gloves
  4. He can work if he washes it with soap
The right answer: A. He must not handle food until it heals

Here is why: Saudi rules allow work only with a small, clean, covered cut. A cut with pus is infected and full of germs, so he must stop food work.
