Reflections

Through the materialization of this blog. It has allowed me to be able to see from the industrial perspective and standards, as well as a personal perspective and standards as a worker.
Also these blog has allowed me to assimilate the knowledge i have learnt in school and manipulate to fit a specific industrial situation. This is very important learning point as despite having the knowledge, it is pointless if the we are not able to put it to practical use.
Another learning point I have learnt is that factors that affects our choice greatly in business in terms of the sanitizing products and equipments; such as costs. As the sanitizing and detergents are costly hence the rationale and choice made have to be economically sound.

Personally, I felt that the blog overall did a good job especially in the photo gifs that help provide pictorial descriptions to our points and as well as the details on the specific cleaning operations to the detergents and sanitizers available out there.
However, there could be better improvements. Such as giving more specific information related to the hazards and consequences to the business for not upholding good hygiene standards.

At the end of this project, I have learnt more about personal hygiene and cleaning and sanitation. After researching, I know the importance of having good personal hygiene and how it is related to many illnesses and problems caused by food handlers with poor personal hygiene. I also learnt the suitable types and of cleaning agents and its proper usage. The importance of cleaning and sanitation of the work area, to kill bacteria and all that cannot be seen with the naked eye. Knowing all these, I am able to apply these practices into my daily schedule of working in the kitchen and am able to prevent many problems from occurring.
Although the blog is not very in depth as compared to what the other groups that have done with their blogs, I feel that this blog teaches you the basics of knowing what one should and should not do and the methods of doing things. The blog can be further improved on with more details added onto what we issues we have raised.

I think using a blog to educate the people of a company about food safety and hygiene is a very innovative way. For us, it provides a different way of learning instead of the usual textbook and notes kind of teaching. It also provides us with a platform to showcase our knowledge about food safety and hygiene. Through this blog, I am able to pick up several food safety measures that will be useful for my future career. Learning about the different kinds of detergent and sanitizers enables me to make better decision upon purchase next time, be it as a boss or giving advice to my boss. I believe this blog will be helpful as it will help prevent the risk of future food safety and hygiene hazards. However, this blog doesn’t go into much detail. I think in future instances I might consider using this form of learning in my future career.

This experience of using the blog to educate my friends has let me understand the usefulness of such tool to spread the awareness of personal hygiene and also the cleanliness of the areas. From my point of view, i personally enjoyed the process of doing this blog, as not only we learned more useful information about hygiene but also the pictures and videos taken is somewhat interested and useful for people to know, however as compared to the other blogs, i can tell differences in the standard of the blog, as ours is more of a general post, whereas there are people who have did a more personal, and insight blog, that really teaches the hygiene to a insight work, which really open my knowledge more. Also, learning about the detergent and sanatizers, the cleaning up of a salad bar, really is comparable to other type of different places, as due to the differences in tools used, for example not being able to use some sort of sanatizers due to its intensity, which really makes me understand the need of different type of such tool.

Creating the blog allows to me know more about cleaning and sanitizing a place because of the research we had to do and through all the research, we are able to learn more and know more things and knowing more in depth about cleaning and sanitizing a place. After doing all the research, I know how to properly sanitize and clean a place and knowing that the place is clean and not filled with bacteria we can’t see. The objective of the blog is to allow people who do not really know much about how to sanitize and clean a place and allowing them to briefly know more about the right ways and methods to sanitize and clean a place/kitchen. The blog isn’t really detailed enough thus I think that the blog could have more details being added and making it more simplified so that people will understand what we are trying to say.
