Defining an Imminent Health Hazard in Your Kitchen

Safety requires constant vigilance from every manager. You must watch for sewage backups or power outages. An imminent health hazard exists when evidence shows extreme risk. This threat requires a swift and decisive response.

The FDA uses specific evidence to define these threats. A product or practice may create a dangerous situation. This requires immediate correction or cessation of operations. You must act to protect the public.

You must prevent injury based on several factors. First you count the number of potential injuries. Then you check the nature and severity of the harm. The duration of the anticipated injury matters too.

A total power loss is an imminent health hazard. Bacteria grow fast when the power goes out. You must discard food that sits in the danger zone. This action prevents a mass illness event.
