Montenegro: 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.
- Chef Hygiene defaultFood handlers should be trained in food hygiene for their work. Chef Hygiene keeps each person's certificate and a training log.
- Official guidanceAsk your inspector which health checks your staff need (such as the health booklet, sanitarna knjižica). We could not confirm the rules.
- Chef Hygiene defaultStaff who are ill with something that can pass through food stay away from food work. Chef Hygiene asks staff to tell the manager.
