Liechtenstein: 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.
- LawStaff must be instructed or trained for their work. Whoever runs the HACCP procedures needs HACCP training (HyV art. 22). There is no certificate, hours or renewal period.
- LawThere is no health certificate or routine health check for food staff. Staff only have to report illness (HyV art. 21).
- LawAnyone with an acute food-borne illness must stay out of food areas. Carriers and people with infected wounds are banned unless hygiene rules out contamination. Report illness to the responsible person at once (HyV art. 21). Chef Hygiene uses 48 hours without symptoms.
