The updated Restaurant & Catering Australia's Guide to Food Safety & Hygiene 2008/09 edition has been issued to all Restaurant & Catering members throughout Australia.
Compiled in consultation with Restaurant & Catering Australia, the guide discusses several areas in the industry that require workers to follow strict health and safety guidelines; including temperature control, food storage and stock rotation, emergency procedures, fire safety and electrical safety.
John Hart, CEO of Restaurant & Catering Australia, said the organisation hoped the guide would assist employees in the restaurant and catering industry.
"It highlights the importance of proper storage and both fire and electrical hazards of which staff need to be aware. Restaurant & Catering Australia encourages all businesses in the industry to display the wall chart in a prominent location so that employees will be aware of good hygiene and safety practices,” Hart said.
He said the information was conveyed using bullet points, simple English and an eye-catching design - ideal for inductions, training, and as a daily point of reference for the correct policies and procedures. By displaying the chart in a common area, employers could ensure that each and every staff member was aware of potential dangers and how to avoid them.
More than 6,000 charts have been made available free of charge thanks to sponsorship funding. Additional copies of the charts available upon request. Contact Pro-Visual Publishing on (02) 8272 2611 or email enquiries@provisual.com.au or visit www.provisual.com.au
