Fire Safety

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires employers to implement a risk based approach to fire safety in community, industrial and business premises. It requires the responsible person (usually the employer, owner or occupier) to carry out a fire safety risk assessment and implement appropriate fire precautionary and protection measures, and to maintain a fire management plan. This will identify a requirement for a level of fire safety training to all staff. Mark Nicholls, Environmental Health Officer MCIEH MRIPH

Food Safety

Information from the FSA states: 'Food handlers must receive appropriate supervision, and be instructed and/or trained in food hygiene, to enable them to handle food safely. The operator of the food business is responsible for ensuring this happens.'

Food Safety Level 2 is generally seen as the starting point from which to build on, and the more training people have the better for everyone: staff, customers and employers.
