Ireland: before you start
Build the working day around your Irish food-safety system. FSAI's Safe Catering pack separates delivery, refrigeration, cooking and cooling, hot display, hygiene and staff records. Choose the activities your cafe actually carries out, then keep the observations and decisions together for your environmental health officer.
- Use the training and fitness-to-work areas of Safe Catering when reviewing your team's records. Assign the methods each role needs before they perform that task unsupervised.
- Keep a current cleaning method with the equipment and products actually used at the site. Staff sign-off should accompany supervision and practical instruction.
- Review training when a menu, supplier, process or responsibility changes. Keep earlier signed versions available so the record shows what staff had been taught at the time.
Share and track
- Upload a document (an SOP, a policy, training material) on the web.
- The team sees it on their phones and acknowledges it after reading.
- Managers see the completion list — who has signed off and who hasn't.
New versions restart the sign-off, so nobody is acknowledged against an old copy. Acknowledgement is an internal record of sign-off, not a legal signature.
