Do’s And Dont’s

Worksheet Description

This Kitchen Safety worksheet is crafted to engage students in a practical exercise on kitchen do’s and don’ts, particularly focusing on attire, handling equipment, and maintaining cleanliness. It is laid out as a checklist where students must identify safe practices by marking either “DO” or “DON’T” next to each statement, thereby actively participating in their learning process about safety in the kitchen.

The worksheet begins with a statement on appropriate kitchen attire, asking students to consider whether wearing long, baggy clothes is safe. It then moves on to the necessity of wearing shoes, handling hot items from the oven, the correct positioning of pot handles on the stove, and the importance of washing hands before and after cooking. Additionally, it prompts students to think about the risks of cross-contamination by using the same cutting board for different types of food. The worksheet also covers the advisability of licking food off knives and the urgency required in cleaning up spills to prevent accidents. Finally, it addresses the dangers of leaving cooking food unattended. This resource aims to instill a sense of responsibility and awareness about maintaining a safe cooking environment among students.
