Exclusion vs Restriction

These are the two employee-health actions in the Food Code, and the exam likes to make you choose between them.

Key points:

Exclusion means the employee cannot be in the operation at all.
Restriction means the employee can work, but not with exposed food or clean equipment.
Vomiting, diarrhea, or a Big Six diagnosis points to exclusion.
A non-Big-Six illness with an infected hand wound points to restriction plus a covering.

Managers get these items wrong when they answer from habit instead of from the rule. Read the number, then connect it to the task.
