Chapter 566 The Inspection 2
"Well then, let's get started shall we?"
.
Mother Winnie and her team marched into the backroom of GreenMart with their equipment at hand, as well as their notebooks and checklists too.
Just from a single glance, one could see that GreenMart's massive backroom... Which was about the same size as any supermarket's bathroom on earth, was kept very clean and well maintained.
But just inspecting things with one's eyes wasn't enough to give this company a pass.
Winnie and the rest nodded in satisfaction while walking towards the staff locker rooms here.
Of course, the first thing that they had to do....was suit-up.
"Alright!
Since there are newly joined public health inspectors on the team, then let's treat today's inspection as a lecture shall we?
So new recruits…. When starting with an inspection what is the first thing that we have to do?" Mother Winnie asked while looking at the New recruits that all had their hands raised up in the air.
"Yes, Thomas?"
"Inspector Winnie, as mandatory to all inspections…. We start by washing our hands!"
"Good Thomas!
But apart from doing so to avoid the spread of germ, bacteria and possible food contamination during routine inspections..... why else would we want to do so?"
(-_-`)
.
This time, fewer new people raise their hands, because even though many of them felt like the answer was just at the top of their heads..... for the life of them, they truly couldn't remember tge correct answer right now.
And so, some of them smiled wryly while looking at the floor... as if dodging eye contact with mother Winnie.
Of course, some of them rubbed their chin and seriously thought of what the answer could be, while others only pretended to think deeply instead.
And for some, they started flipping the pages of their notebooks like crazy... While whispering words like: where is it?... Or what could it be?
All in all, those that didn't know, we're very ashamed at the moment.
One should know that before one could be on the health inspection team, they had to write several tests on procedures and guidelines.
In total, they were required to take 6 written examinations and 3 practical examinations just to be public health inspectors.
So, of course, they had done through this phase during their practical examination.
But the problem was that they were slightly anxious now that they were on the field... And all the answers in their heads seemed to have evaporated like water.
And even though they knew that the answer was probably somewhere in their brain, they still couldn't remember it no matter how hard they tried.
And so they felt extremely embarrassed when they saw Winnie and their seniors looking at them expectantly.
But Mother Winnie and the other inspectors who have been doing this particular job for years now, didn't look down at them at all.
After all, when they began... they too continuously forgot a few things due to his anxious they were.
Everyone wanted to do their best, so this could sometimes put unnecessary stress on them instead.
The best thing for them to do was to relax.
Anyway..... out of all 15 new recruits, only 3 of them could answer Winnie's question.
"Inspector Winnie, apart from contaminating the food during routine inspection..... we still need to wash our hands, so as to show us that the premise has all required aspects of hand wash facilities in the building."
"Correct Harper!
Each facility is required to have several designated hand wash stations that are only to be used for hand wash alone.
So, what guidelines must companies follow... So as to make sure that he met the proper health standards when it comes to hand wash stations?"
"Inspector Winnie, each station should have:
•Hot \u0026 Cold Water Running
•Liquid Hand Soap
•And Paper Towels."
"Excellent!
Alright!
So, when washing your hands, what did you all notice about the backroom hand wash stations here?" Winnie asked while looking at the many hands that were now raised up in the air once more.
"Inspector Winnie, I noticed that the Hot water Tap wasn't working properly."
"Was there a red tag placed on the hot water handle?"
"Yes, chief inspector."
"Good!
Then that means that the company has already noticed it, and gas already called sideline to come in and fix it immediately.
Now, let's say the red tag wasn't there... what would you all do then?"
"Inspector Winnie, we note it down... as it will affect the results from the inspection.
And after that, we will give them feedback... As well as a brief report too.
"Hmhm... Well said, Tiffany.
Now, let's continue on with the inspection."
.
With that, Winnie and her team continued with their inspection throughout the entire backroom.
They went into the walk-in refrigeration unit and used their equipment like a thermometer to make sure the air within the walk-in fridge was at the required temperature
After all, from the guidelines that they had... There was a temperature danger zone, which was very bad for food during storage.
One should know that some foods require precise temperature maintenance, so as to prevent bacterial growth and food-related illnesses.
And apart from checking the room temperature, they also placed their sterilized thermometers in some of the food too.
Of course, they also inspected several places like the bakery station where fresh bread was made daily for the customers.. .... And other cooking stations as well.
In short, they checked the cooking, holding and storage of all fresh foods in the building.
Additionally, they also checked the sanitation of the place, as well as how heavy items were being stored too...lest they severely injure workers on the job.
Of course, apart from the backroom..... they also checked the actual store itself.
They looked for any safety dangers, like the cleaners not cleaning water-spills on the aisles and so on.
They also went through the company procedure to see if any changes needed to be done as well.
And while the inspection went on, they also asked the manager a couple of questions too.
It was required for all managers to know Baymard's health codes in order to operate a commercial food establishment.
In short, there was so much that needed to be done
And by the end of the day, all establishments within Baymard had successfully undergone inspection.
Winning cane back home and quickly jumped on her bed.
'Bam!'
It was finally over.
.
An while things were looking up for those in Baymard, the same couldn't be said to others.
