CRAFTBUTCHER l OCTOBER 2017 19


EXCLUDING SICK STAFF Tis is a difficult situation to manage for any small food business and comes up time and time again. Te law is quite clear on the matter: “No person suffering from, or being a carrier of a


disease likely to be transmitted through food or afflicted, for example, with infected wounds, skin infections, sores or diarrhoea is to be permitted to handle food or enter any food-handling area in any capacity if there is any likelihood of direct or indirect contamination. Any person so affected and employed in a food


business and who is likely to come into contact with food is to report immediately the illness or symptoms, and if possible their causes, to their manager or supervisor.” PREMIER ADVICE (Personal Hygiene section) will


supply you with some excellent notes on how to handle these tricky situations and some suggested staff forms for pre-employment and return to work circumstances. Also, don’t forget, if you suspect staff of using


sickness as an excuse for malingering you can get excellent free, tailored advice from Peninsula, the Federations employment consultants. Just call 0844 800 7091 and quote NFMF1888.


We always welcome members feedback on Peninsula or other service providers. Please contact me on 01892 541412, email: richard@nfmſt.co.uk n
