Russia: 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.

• LawEvery day before work, food handlers are checked for skin infections and signs of illness, written in the hygiene journal (paper or electronic); staff who are ill are taken off food work (SanPiN p.25).
• LawCatering staff in contact with food have a medical exam once a year (Ministry of Health Order No. 29n), recorded in the personal medical book (личная медицинская книжка), and must meet the rules on hygiene training.
