                   Operation Procedure for Snack Bar
                          at Black Brook Park
                                             2009 Season
Below are the general guidelines that are required to operate the Snack Bar. These may be amended by the
Township or Recreation Department at any time.

General Administrative:
   1.     The Snack Bar is owned by Hanover Township. The HTLL Board of Trustees must agree to
          operate the Snack Bar annually. Once agreed by the board, a lease agreement must be signed and
          approved by the Township Department of Administration prior to opening for business.

   2.     The Hanover Township Board of Health must provide a license to operate certificate prior to
          opening for business. This will include an inspection by the Board of Health. The Board of
          Health reviews the suitability of all equipment to be used, menu and general conditions of the
          facility.

   3.     Any issues raised by the Board of Health must be brought to the attention of the Recreation
          Department for resolution.

   4.     Minors are not permitted behind the Snack Bar counter.

Check List for Daily Operations:
Wash Hands:
   Wash hands, underneath fingernails and jewelry before and after contact with raw foods. Also after
     using toilet, handling garbage or waste, petting animals or sneezing.
   Wash hands with hot soapy water before handling any foods. Hands should be rubbed together for 20
     seconds before rinsing.

Wear Clean Clothes:
   Bacteria and germs can come from dirty clothes.

Cover Wounds:
    Make sure all open wounds are covered.

Infectious Diseases:
    If you are ill do not work with food.

Check Expiration Dates:
    Discard any product that has passed its expiration date.
    When in doubt, throw it out.




                                                                                                           8
Keep Refrigerated Items Refrigerated:
    Products will become contaminated if left out.
    Store raw meat on the bottom shelf so juices don’t drip onto other foods.
    Refrigerate or freeze perishables within two hours.
    Never defrost food on the counter. Use the refrigerator, cold running water or the microwave.
    Don’t pack the refrigerator. Cool air must circulate to keep food safe.

Check Refrigerator/Freezer Temperatures:
    Ensure products are being kept to avoid contamination. Refrigerator temperature should be set no
      higher than 40° F and the freezer set at 0° F. Temperatures should occasionally be checked with a
      thermometer.

Cleaning the Snack Bar
Keep Kitchen Aids Dry:
    Change cloths and cleaning utensils frequently or wash them with soap and hot water. When possible
      use disposable paper towel.

Clean Work Surfaces:
    Clean all work surfaces and utensils thoroughly and often with soap and water. All cutting boards,
      counters and utensils shall be washed immediately after preparing each food item and before going
      on to the next one.

Keep Floor Clean:
    Sweep and mop to avoid bacteria from contaminating food.

Remove Garbage:
   All garbage must be removed daily and placed in receptacles provided by the Township.

Hot Food:
    Once food is cooked it must be consumed within two hours. If not, it must be kept at 140 degrees or
      higher since harmful bacteria can multiply between 40 and 140 degrees F.

Care of Snack Bar Equipment
    All cooking equipment is to be unplugged at the end of the day.
    Refrigerators and freezer shelves should be inspected and cleaned periodically.
    All volunteers working the concession stand shall receive a briefing and instructions on use of
      equipment and cleaning prior to the start of the shift.
    Any malfunctions with equipment shall be immediately forwarded to the Snack Bar Coordinator so
      that the Township can be notified for repair.
    Any electrical, plumbing or structural problems shall be forwarded to the Snack Bar Coordinator
      immediately so that the Township can be notified to make repair.

                                                                               11
                      The Heimlich Maneuver
The Heimlich Maneuver is an emergency method of removing food or foreign object from the
airway to prevent suffocation.                                Illustration A

When approaching a choking person, one who is still
conscious, ask: “Can you cough? Can you speak?”

If the person can speak or cough, do not perform the
Heimlich Maneuver or pat them on the back.
Encourage them to cough.



   Stand behind the person and wrap your arms
    around his or her waist. If the person is
    standing, place one of your feet between his or
    her legs so you can support the person's body if
    he or she loses consciousness.
   Make a fist with one hand. Place the thumb side
    of your fist against the person's abdomen, just
    above the navel but well below the breastbone
    (sternum). See Illustration A.
   Grasp your fist with the other hand. Give a quick
    upward thrust into the abdomen. This may cause the object to pop out. Use less force
    for a child. See Illustration B.
   Repeat thrusts until the object pops out or the person loses consciousness.

                    Illustration B


                                               Most individuals are fine after the object is
                                                     removed from the airway. However,
                                            occasionally the object will go into one of the
                                            lungs. If there is a possibility that the foreign
                                            object was not expelled, medical care should
                                                                                  be sought.

                                          If the object cannot be removed completely by
                                             performing the Heimlich, immediate medical
                                           care should be sought by calling 911 or going
                                                            to the local emergency room.
