Content reviewed on

Personal hygiene

Hygiene rules, work clothing and attire, with visible supervision on the shop floor.

Job-specific training

Initial and ongoing training in food hygiene and HACCP, tailored to each worker's role.

Staff facilities

Changing rooms, restrooms and break areas that don't compromise product safety.

What an auditor usually asks for

  • A food hygiene training record per worker
