food hygiene audit
CONSULTANCY BOOSTS HYGIENE Bristol-based employment consultancy, PES, has launched a health and safety audit service for pubs and restaurants. The ‘legal compliance audit’ is designed to help managers prepare for inspection by environmental health officers (EHOs). From just £100, PES is offering spot checks of any business that prepares food, helping to highlight potential problems that an EHO may spot. Led by an auditor with a strong background in environmental health, the audit includes a variety of checks including basic building structure, temperatures and record keeping, hygiene and stock rotation. Director, Olivia Van Der Werff commented: “The aim is really to help managers reduce the stress of an EHO inspection by pointing out the likely issues at an early stage. The audits are available for all sorts of businesses, from factories to hotels, however we’re focusing initially on consumer-facing establishments. Although chains of pubs and restaurants may have extensive support from a head office, smaller independently-run businesses often have little health and safety expertise. To help business owners ensure that they can pass an inspection, we also provide detailed feedback on areas for improvement, and certify those businesses that we feel would pass.” (Premier Employer Solutions) is a full-service employment solutions provider that offers a range of services to business to ensure their people issues run as smoothly and efficiently as possible, with minimum risk.
