A food handler who is ill, or has certain conditions, can potentially cause food contamination, so it’s important to ensure your employees are fit for work.
If you’re a food business, it’s best practice that you ensure your food handlers obtain medical clearance certificates to ensure that they’re fit and healthy to handle food.
After all, you don’t want to be faced with a food poisoning/contamination allegation.
Our online food handler questionnaire takes approximately 10 minutes to complete and identifies if the employee has any medical conditions which are known to cause potential food contamination.
The questionnaire results are reviewed by our occupational health advisors who will issue a fitness for work certificate if there are no health concerns. If any of the answers highlight areas of concern, the employee will be referred to one of our occupational health advisors for a telephone review.
