본 연구는 지방 소도시인 경북 예천군의 100인 미만 어린이 급식시설 32개소를 규모별(50인 이상, 21인 이상 50인 미만, 20인 이하)로 나누어 어린이급식관리지원센터의 위생·안전 순회방문지도에 따른 개선효과를 조사·분석하고자 하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 지방 소도시에 위치한 소규모 어린이 급식시설의 문제점을 파악하고, 보다 효과적인 위생관리 지도 방향을 제시하고자 하였다. 규모별 분석대상은 집단급식소 25.0%, 소규모 급식소 34.4%, 비집단급식소 40.6%의 순으로 조사되었으며, 전체 조사대상 급식시설에 고용된 조리사 면허 소지자는 40.6%에 불과했다. 위생·안전관리 지도점검 결과 총 25가지 항목 중 18가지 항목에서 유의성 있는 결과를 얻었으며, 집단급식소는 총 5가지 항목(시설 등 환경 1문항, 개인위생 2문항, 원료사용 1문항, 보관관리 1문항), 비집단급식소는 총 13가지 항목 (시설 등 환경 1문항, 개인위생 2문항, 원료사용 1문항, 공 정관리 7문항, 보관관리 2문항), 그리고 소규모급식소는 총 7가지 항목(시설 등 환경 1문항, 개인위생 2문항, 원료사용 1문항, 공정관리 1문항, 보관관리 2문항)에서 유의미한 개선효과가 확인되었다. 총점의 경우, 전체 순회지원 전 55.89점에서 지원 후 75.11점으로 상향되었고, 규모별로는 집단급식소, 비집단급식소, 소규모급식소 각각 순회지원 전 63.5점, 52.1점, 50.5점에서 지원 후 79.8점, 76.7점, 65.4점으로 세 그룹 모두 상향된 점수의 개선효과가 확인되었다 (data not shown). 집단급식소의 경우 전문 인력에 의한 조리업무 수행 및 지자체로 부터의 지속적인 위생 점검으로 순회지원 이전부터 수행되고 있는 항목이 많은 것으로 조사되었다. 위생·안전 순회지원을 통한 개선효과는 비전문 인력으로 구성된 비집단급식소에서 가장 크게 나타났으며, 특히 개인위생, 공정관리, 보관관리 항목에서 뚜렷한 개선 효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 이와 같은 결과를 바탕으로, 지방 소도시의 어린이 급식시설에 대한 어린이급식관리지원센터의 위생순회방문지도가 위생 및 안전관리에 있어서 긍정적인 개선효과를 제공한 것으로 판단되며, 제한적인 지원 횟수로 인한 다소 아쉬운 평점의 상승폭에도 불구하고 지속적인 교육지원을 통한 개선의 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다. 어린이를 대상으로 한 식생활의 안전문제는 어린이 급식시설 즉 비영리급식 뿐만 아니라 어린이 식생활에 많은 영향을 주는 가공식품 및 외식 등 식품 산업 전반에서 함께 풀어야할 과제이다. 이는 지속적인 교육지원 등과 더불어 식품산업체와의 협력 및 상호보완을 통해 균형 있고 지속가능한 정책이 이루어지기 위한 구체적인 기반이 마련 되어야 할 것이다.
The purpose of our study was to examine the effects of dietitians' sanitation training performance on the sanitation knowledge and management practice level of culinary employees. We developed a questionnaire to measure the sanitation knowledge and management practice level of culinary employees and the sanitation training performance of dietitians. The questionnaire was completed by 53 dietitians and 337 culinary employees working in food service in the Chungbuk Province. We found that the sanitation training performance of dietitians had a significant positive affect on the sanitation knowledge and management practice level of culinary employees. There was also a correlation between sanitation knowledge and the management practice level of culinary employees. We conclude that sanitation training performance by dietitians is an effective method of improving the sanitation knowledge and management practice level of culinary employees. Thus, we suggest strengthening the sanitation training programs given by dietitians to improve food hygiene and safety in the foodservice industry.
This study was evaluated the indicators of GRI guideline LA6-LA9 for industrial safety sanitation field on 22 domestic sustainable management reports and 46 overseas reports published by companies in 2007 and 2008, was developed new indicators with emphasis on industrial safety sanitation act, and was assessed whether they are released. As a result, LA6(Percent of total workforce represented in formal joint management-work health and safety committees that help monitor and advise on occupational health and safety programs) was evaluated highest in release ratio on whether to release the reports by each indicator of industrial safety sanitation field using domestic sustainable management report GRI guideline, and in the case of overseas companies, it was evaluated that there is no companies that release all from LA6 through LA9 among GRI guideline, but it was grasped that the ratio of partial release is high. As for the release of indicators was developed with the use of industrial safety sanitation act of 22 domestic companies, the release of indicator No. 1(report and industrial disaster record) and 10(health diagnosis) of industrial safety sanitation act was high. This study is meaningful in that it analyzed the industrial safety sanitation field of sustainable management report(CSR) that has not been attempted so far with the use of new indicators developed with emphasis on GRI guideline and industrial safety sanitation act.
This studyevaluates the effectiveness ofthe “ Seoul Sanitation Grading System Evaluation Index" devel0ped earlier and to analyze sanitation management practlces in restaurants in Seoul, Korea. The categories evaluated were the food management standard, facilities/equipment standard, and essential checking items specified in the law. These items were graded and classified into A (100~90), B (89~80), C (79~ 70) and Score (less than 69) based on the criteria set by the present researchers. We randomly selected 56 restaurants in five l0cal cities (Jung-gu, Seocho-gu, Jongno-gu, Songpa-gu and YIeongdeungpo-gu) and investigated each by actually visiting the site of business. The achievement rate for food management standard was 80.8%; as for the specific items in the category, it was the highest in food ingredients at 77.1 % and the lowest in food storage at 62.1 %. For the facilities/equipment standard, the achievement rate was 77.8%; as for the specific items in the category, it was the highest for vermin at 88 .1 % and the lowest for operation at 70.8%. The achievement rate for overall individual sanitary management was 70.7% and in the category, the lowest score was seen in hand washing at 57.1 %. The overall average score of sanitation management practices using the Seoul Sanitation Grading System Evaluation Index in restaurants in Seoul was 73.7, which fell into the C category. As for the number of restaurants in each grade category, there were 10 (17.9%) in each category of A (100~90), B (89~80) and C (79~70) with 30 (53.6%) scoring higher than 70, whereas those scoring less than 69 included 26 (46.4%). The average scores for those restaurants designated by local governments (exemplary restaurants, general restaurants, best Korean restaurants in Seoul) were not significantly diffierent; however, they were higher in franchises than those small restaurants ran by individuals.
This study aimed at evaluating current sanitation management performances in Korean-Food restaurants by their operation types and to develop sanitary training posters based on the risk factors, in an attempt to improve the level of sanitation management in Korean food service facilities. Eighteen Korean-food restaurants that are managed by franchisor, franchisees as well as self-managed with large-scale and small-scale restaurants in Seoul and Gyeonggi-Do, were evaluated by on-the-spot inspectors with an auditing tool consisting of three dimensions, nine categories and thirty four items. Data were analyzed using SPSS. The total score of each group showed that restaurants managed by franchisees ranked the highest (59 out of 100 points), while self-managed, small-scale restaurants ranked the lowest (44 out of 100 points). In the categorization of sanitation management compliance, the dimensions of food hygiene during production recorded the lowest compliance rate of 47.7% (22.89/48.0 points) followed by the dimension of environmental hygiene 59.3% (20.17/34.0 points) and personal hygiene 60.5% (10.89/18.0 points). This indicated the need for urgent improvement. The items which showed the lowest compliance rates were 'proper thawing of frozen foods' (0%), 'notifying and observing heating/reheating temperature' (6%), 'using of hand-washing facility and proper hand-washing' (33%), 'monitoring temperature of frozen-foods and cold-foods' (35%), and 'prevention of cross-contamination' (36%) among thirty four items. Self-managed, small-scale restaurants, in particular, needed to improve sanitary practices such as 'sanitation education for employee', 'verifying the employee health inspection reports', 'storing food on the shelves 15 cm distance away from the wall', 'suitability of ventilation capacity of hoods' and 'cleanliness of drainage'. On the basis of the findings of this study, we developed sanitary training posters, especially for small-scale restaurant operators. This could be an effective tool to educate food service employees on sanitary knowledge and principles and could be used to improve the existing sanitary conditions in Korean food service facilities.
