जापान: स्टाफ की बीमारी और प्रशिक्षण

“कानून” एक बाध्यकारी नियम है। “आधिकारिक मार्गदर्शन” कानून नहीं है, लेकिन निरीक्षक इसकी अपेक्षा करते हैं। “Chef Hygiene डिफ़ॉल्ट” एक ऐसा मान है जिसकी जाँच ऐप द्वारा की जाती है जहाँ कोई नियम संख्या नहीं देता है।

• कानूनEvery business appoints a Food Sanitation Supervisor (食品衛生責任者): a cook, dietitian or similar, or someone who took the prefecture's course. The law asks the supervisor of a licensed business to try to attend refresher courses regularly, with no national interval: the public health centre sets it (for example, yearly in Tokyo).
• कानूनStaff health is checked every day (diarrhoea, vomiting, fever, jaundice, infected cuts or skin), and the business decides who stops work with food. Stool tests (検便) are the law when the public health centre directs them; monthly tests are MHLW's guidance for kitchens cooking 300 meals at once or 750 a day.
