What is a Food Alert audit?
Our visit starts with an audit of the health & safety support documentation. This is followed by an inspection of the premises in order to identify any physical or operational contraventions of legislation or good practice.
Audit reports include executive summary, review of previous scores and photographs.
All action points are given a priority rating that enables the manager to adopt an appropriate action plan.
Health and Safety Auditing
Our team of auditors complete a large number of audits per year, these include auditing health & safety documentation and safety inspections of premises against national legal requirements, industry best practice, corporate governance and where applicable Federation of Tour Operators code of practice.
Food Hygiene Auditing
This type of in-depth/check-list audit is focused on the catering and food suppliers sector and is conducted with special emphasis on high risk areas identified by the application of HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) and Risk Assessment techniques.
