Due diligence

This handbook is designed to be used as part of your induction training of staff, or as a recap for those who may have worked for you for years. It provides a sound basis for further training as appropriate.

We provide a training sheet with each booklet. Once the booklet has been read and any queries answered, the training sheet can be signed. Thus a record of training can be shown to Inspectors and your food handlers understand their responsibilities.

You have taken steps to ensure your staff training programme is in place demonstrating your due diligence.

Foreword

by Terrence Collis, Director of Communications, The Food Standards Agency

The people who eat the food you prepare at work rely on you. They don’t just rely on you to make good and tasty food. They rely on you to keep it safe. Most food is safe, but sometimes things go wrong and that can make people ill. About a million people every year in the UK get food poisoning and about 500 of those people die.

You can keep food safe and help keep the people who eat the food you prepare healthy by using the advice in this handbook – it is easy to follow. It tells you how to check foods to make sure they’re safe, how to handle food and equipment safely, and how to keep food cool to make sure it stays safe. It also tells you about keeping yourself and your workplace clean so you don’t contaminate food.

If your job is to prepare food, the law says you are responsible for producing safe food. The same law applies across the whole of the European Union. The same food regulations apply whether you are preparing pizzas in Portsmouth or Paphos or Paris. It is up to you to comply with the regulations. The regulations themselves are very detailed, but, once you have been fully trained on hygiene and food safety and you follow the advice in this booklet you can be sure you’re doing all the right things. You’ll also find easy-to-follow practical advice in the Food Standards Agency’s Safer Food, Better Business pack and DVD.

Keep food safe for everyone – it’s what you’d expect from the people who prepare the food you eat.
