YOU ARE HELD LIABLE FOR EMPLOYEE WELFARE STANDARDS

AND YOU DON'T HAVE CONTROL...

As an employer you need control

For effective control of their catering standards you need unbiased data!

Only then can you manage catering costs and your duty of care. You put yourself at risk if you are reliant on data

from a catering consultancy chosen by your caterers or vending suppliers.

Why?

Any catering consultant recruited by your catering department will have an obvious bias not to relay any

information back to you that could in any way jeopardise the catering contract.

This obvious bias leaves you vulnerable and makes the whole exercise irrelevant!

All vested interest must be removed because it clearly makes you vulnerable to both excessive risk and

excessive catering costs.

Common law duties

Catering standards directly impact your duty for employee welfare which is personal and non-delegable.

To ensure complete automony any catering consultants auditing standards must be independently selected by

you as the duty holder.

Using the catering contract or vending contracts as a defence for poor standards is no excuse; employer liability

means you are the duty holder and have a duty of care for the health and well being of your employees!

Operational risk

Benchmarking food standards proves due diligence; unbiased data returns added value.

Once you can prove due diligence you can impact employer liability your catering subsidy and vending costs!

FACT: Food hygiene standards directly impact YOUR employee welfare standards.

So are your food standards good and if so compared to what? Good or bad could even describe identical situations dependent on interpretation.

This clearly proves you “do not” have control, meaning you are most likely paying unnecessary costs.
This also demonstrates you may not be compliant, employee welfare standards could be poor & risk high.
To control vending & catering costs you must first measure employee welfare standards.

Food poisoning risk; your food hygiene standards. How many days production does your business lose per year to food poisoning? It's more common than you may think which is why we include laboratory testing with

every assessment!

Most food poisoning is never reported however typically the lowest UK stat's still show around 80,000 food

poisoning cases per year with the true figure being 10x times this.

Actual levels are between 850,000 estimated by the FSA (Food standards agency) to

**1.2 million as estimated by leading experts.

Even at the most conservative of estimates this represents a significant % of the working population.

**The Food Safety Handbook (Level 2) states 1.2 million cases!!"
