Jersey: staff sickness and training
Training, food handler rules and when sick staff must stay away from food.
Checked
“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.
- Official guidanceFood handlers should be supervised and trained in food hygiene for their work. This is good practice, and the Eat Safe audit checks it. Jersey sets no certificate renewal the research could confirm.
- Official guidanceStaff with diarrhoea or vomiting stay away from food until 48 hours after the symptoms stop. This is UK-style guidance.
