Training
All staff on site should be trained. This training must include:
- Explanation of anaphylaxis and common food allergens.
- The general precautions that are in place on site to prevent contamination with allergenic material.
- Specific precautions in place that relate to individual job roles.
- Training must be carried out for new employees (including temporary staff) before they start work for the first time. The training programme should be rolled out based on risk assessment.
- Supervisory staff should be given specific responsibility for ensuring that staff teams comply with procedures they have been trained against.
- Refresher training should be repeated at least every 2 years, and if staff demonstrate lack of understanding at any time.
- All training must be fully documented.
