Kitchen Safety
This session covers common hazards and safe practices for working in commercial, institutional, and industrial kitchens, including restaurants, hotels, bakeries, office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and event venues.
Topic: Hospitality
Sexual Harassment Prevention for Workers in Restaurants and Bars (Spanish)
Sexual harassment can disrupt the workplace and cause lasting problems for everyone involved. The pressures and pace in the hospitality industry often lead to great camaraderie amongst staff. But the flip side to that is an informality that allows inappropriate behavior to go unchecked. When you add the element of dealing with customers—some who have been drinking—to the mix, there is great potential for inappropriate behavior, which could lead to employer liability. By the end of this course, supervisors and employees should be able to identify ways in which the unique employment setting found in restaurant and bars leads to unique challenges as well as recognize, prevent, and respond to sexual harassment and other inappropriate behavior when it does happen.
En este curso se definirá qué es el acoso sexual y cuáles son sus efectos negativos en el lugar de trabajo; asimismo, se describirán las medidas que usted y su empleador pueden tomar a fin de prevenir y responder al acoso sexual en su lugar de trabajo.
También se discutirán cuáles son sus responsabilidades para constituir un lugar de trabajo libre de acoso sexual. El hecho es que el acoso sexual es dañino y costoso, y va en contra de la ley.
Food Service Safety
Today we’re going to talk about food service safety. This topic is very important because people can get sick if germs, viruses, pesticides, or cleaning agents get into food or drinks.
In food service clean is not the same as safe. Hands can look clean, but if they’re contaminated with germs, they are not safe. Food can look and smell good, but if it is not handled properly, germs can poison it and make consumers sick.
That’s why you need to know what you can do on the job to help prevent food poisoning. Today, we’ll cover all the key steps from good hygiene to proper food handling and making sure food service materials and equipment are clean and safe to use.

Sexual Harassment: What Employees Need to Know
This course is about sexual harassment in the workplace. It’s an important subject because sexual harassment is a form of illegal discrimination under our Civil Rights laws, as well as under state law.
Our workplace also prohibits sexual harassment in the workplace, both because it is illegal, and also because it creates an unproductive, unpleasant, and sometimes even hostile working environment. And that’s not what we want for our workplace or our employees.
This course will cover what sexual harassment is, why it is harmful, and what you can do about it.

Este curso trata sobre el acoso sexual en el lugar de trabajo. Es un tema importante porque el acoso sexual es una forma de discriminación ilegal bajo nuestras leyes de Derechos Civiles, así como bajo la ley estatal.
Nuestro lugar de trabajo también prohíbe el acoso sexual en el lugar de trabajo, tanto porque es ilegal como porque crea un ambiente laboral improductivo, desagradable y, a veces, incluso hostil. Eso no es lo que queremos para nuestro lugar de trabajo ni para nuestros empleados.
Este curso cubrirá qué es el acoso sexual, por qué es dañino y qué puede hacer al respecto.
Food Service Storage
Food storage affects both quality and safety.
Food stored improperly will lose its quality, spoil more rapidly, and can cause a foodborne illness when harmful bacteria are allowed to grow.
Sometimes two different kinds of food stored together can result in cross-contamination, with one food contaminating others in storage.
Improperly stored food can also come in contact with other harmful substances such as toxic chemicals—for example, cleaning supplies and pesticides.
Today, you’ll learn how to store food properly to preserve quality and prevent contamination that can lead to food poisoning.
