THE FOOD HYGIENE AND HEALTH & SAFETY SYSTEMS AUDIT AIDING COMPLIANCE WITH EC LEGISLATION - The new European Community Directives on Food Hygiene and Health and Safety introduce new standards for UK hotels and catering organisations. It is important that all hotel managers are fully aware of these requirements and the implications they may hold for their business. Using their expertise as leaders in hotel auditing ISI laboratories can provide this information through their HotelChek Compliance Audit Programme.

HOW DOES THE HOTELCHEK AUDIT WORK? The HOTELCHEK© audit consists of a detailed inspection of your hotel premises, examining the areas outlined below. Each examination is followed by an immediate on-site debriefing with management. Within a few days a confidential, comprehensive type-written report will be forwarded, detailing all observations together with cost effective recommendations for remedial action.

The report also contains a numerical assessment rating on critical parameters of hygiene management and responsibility, allowing the manager to compare standards with those of other establishments and to monitor performance. A certificate of inspection is also provided to those who reach an approved standard.
