Gibraltar: staff sickness and training

“Law” is a binding rule. “Official guidance” is not law, but inspectors expect it. “Chef Hygiene default” is a value the app checks against where no rule gives a number.

• LawAnyone with typhoid, paratyphoid, any salmonella, amoebic or bacillary dysentery, or a staphylococcal infection likely to cause food poisoning must not handle food. The business must tell the Specialist in Community Medicine (Regulations 1977, reg. 11).
• LawFood handlers must be supervised, instructed and trained for their work (retained Regulation 852/2004, Annex II, Chapter XII). Gibraltar sets no certificate, course hours or renewal. Keep a training log.
• Chef Hygiene defaultChef Hygiene asks staff with diarrhoea, vomiting, fever, skin sores or discharge to stay out of the kitchen until 48 hours after the symptoms stop. This is standard practice, not Gibraltar law.
