2009 August- An outbreak of E.coli confirmed.

2009 August- A separate outbreak of E.coli confirmed.

Remember your caterer has a vested interest in ensuring YOU don't independently monitor standards because 

anything found could risk their catering contract!  

As an employer you have a common law duty... So what independent checks do you have in place? 

Workplace food poisoning risk and its impact on your business is about much more than simple kitchen hygiene.

Standards need to be benchmarked, all that is needed is an independent audit...        For yours click here.

Workplace food poisoning; employee food poisoning risk. How safe are you?

Find out if your kitchens, canteens, vending machines, water dispensers carry pathogens like E.coli and Salmonella! We check microbial quality standards using advanced food hygiene techniques including laboratory testing, temperature control and food hygiene monitoring.

Reduce your risk by statistically benchmarking employee welfare, which includes your caterers, operated vending suppliers and any water dispensers.
 

Moving away from workplace catering and kitchen hygiene we also check your showers or little used site water feeds completing the relevant tests for Legionella. The importance of these tests with reference to your employer liability as the duty holder should not be underestimated.

To quote the head of The Health and Safety Executive for Northern Ireland...

While summing up a recent case Mr Louis Burns concluded:

"Where duty-holders or their agents sub-contract water-treatment programmes, it remains the duty-holder’s responsibility to ensure that every organisation providing a service is competent and fit for purpose, not just at the start of a contract but throughout the life of the contract.”

 
Laboratories

The Laboratories quality system is accredited to British / European Standard BS/EN 17025 and has held UKAS accreditation for microbiological water testing since 1997.

UKAS accreditation certificate copies are supplied with all employee welfare standards assessments

("UKAS" The United Kingdom Accreditation Service)
 

 
Equipment used

“Incorrect” temperature control is a major contributor to workplace food poisoning; with temperature being so important it’s crucial to ensure any workplace catering inspection data is accurate. Our equipment is supplied by a leading international manufacturer of high quality precision thermometers for the food and pharmaceutical industries, they are ISO9001:2000 Compliant.

Our thermometers and probes are fully maintained and certified on an annual basis by UKAS accredited temperature and humidity calibration laboratories.

UKAS Certificate copies are supplied with your employee welfare assessment.

Assessment certificates

Aside from the UKAS copies outlined above we issue framed certificates confirming your assessment and laboratory testing. These are supplied along with your completed report, full recommendations and statistical benchmark score for all tested areas.

The certificates clearly demonstrate that your business takes employee welfare and food hygiene monitoring very seriously and is doing everything possible to combat poor microbial workplace standards.

Displaying a certificate gives a clear message to your employees and your caterer/ operated vending supplier:

       1. For your employees; that you are proactively looking to supply the best possible employee welfare &

           workplace catering standards.

       2. For your caterer contracted or in-house/ operated vending supplier; certificates remind your

           suppliers that random food hygiene monitoring, independent employee welfare assessments are being

           carried out.

           You ENSURE consistent standards as your suppliers will not know when further tests will take place.  

 
Food poisoning and assessment summary

To summarise; workplace food poisoning rarely occurs because of a single isolated mistake. Workplace food poisoning results from management failing to identify hazards and/ or failing to control these hazards:

Controlling these hazards breaks the chain and prevents workplace food poisoning.

As the employer “you” have a common law duty and are held liable for employee welfare irrespective of local catering arrangements. 

Can you demonstrate due diligence, have you done everything possible to reduce both employer and employee welfare vulnerability?

The first simple step is to establish your sites statistical benchmark score.
