Finland: personale sygdom og uddannelse

“Lov” er en bindende regel. “Officiel vejledning” er ikke lov, men inspektører forventer det. “Chef Hygiene standard” er en værdi, som appen kontrollerer i forhold til, hvor ingen regel angiver et tal.

• LovHygiene passport (hygieniapassi): needed by anyone who handles unpackaged perishable food, after 3 months of such work. Owners, trainees and volunteers too (Food Act, § 19).
• LovThe passport test has 40 true or false statements, and you pass with 34. It never expires. The employer must see the original and keep a record.
• LovSalmonella statement (terveydentilan selvitys): before work, staff who handle unpackaged food served unheated, or handled after heating, need a reliable statement of no salmonella (Communicable Diseases Act 1227/2016, § 56). It is a free interview by occupational or health-centre staff.
• LovStaff with an infection that food can carry, infected wounds or diarrhoea must not handle food and must tell the employer at once (EU Regulation 852/2004). After salmonella-related cases, THL advises 2 symptom-free days.
