01What this module asks of you

The 9 syllabus dot points in Safety, Hygiene and Compliance

These are the statements the Hospitality syllabus makes about Safety, Hygiene and Compliance. Dux records each one against the questions you answer, so you can see which of them you have actually been tested on and which have never been asked.

  1. 01

    Work Health and Safety

    Duties of employer and worker, hazard identification, and the hierarchy of control that determines the right response.

  2. 02

    Food Safety and Hygiene

    Personal hygiene, temperature control and cross-contamination, and why the dangerous temperature zone matters.

  3. 03

    Responsible Service of Alcohol

    Legal obligations when serving alcohol, signs of intoxication, and the right to refuse service.

  4. 04

    Hazard Identification and Risk Control

    Identifying hazards by type, assessing risk, and selecting a control that eliminates rather than merely warns.

  5. 05

    Emergency Procedures and Evacuation

    Emergency roles, evacuation procedure and the difference between a plan that exists and one that works.

  6. 06

    Temperature Control and Food Storage

    Storage temperatures, cooling and reheating rules, and the recording that demonstrates compliance.

  7. 07

    Food Safety Programs and HACCP

    The logic of a food safety program, critical control points, and the records that make it auditable.

  8. 08

    Allergen Management

    Identifying allergens, avoiding cross-contact, and communicating accurately with a guest who has declared one.

  9. 09

    Manual Handling and Ergonomics

    Safe lifting and repetitive task design, which is where most hospitality injuries actually occur.

02How it is examined

What a Safety, Hygiene and Compliance question asks you to do

HSC Hospitality - Written Examination Shape is 100 marks in 120 minutes. Questions on Safety, Hygiene and Compliance are not one shape repeated: the command word decides what the marker is looking for, and the mark value decides how much of it. These are the ones Hospitality uses.

Dux writes practice for this module in exactly these shapes, so the drill is the same task the paper sets — not a general knowledge quiz with the module name on it.

03Where this module sits

Safety, Hygiene and Compliance in the Hospitality course

Safety, Hygiene and Compliance opens the Hospitality course. Students routinely lose marks because a question spans two modules, so the neighbouring modules are worth reading next to this one.
