Lettland: veikindi starfsfólks og þjálfun

„Lög“ eru bindandi regla. „Opinberar leiðbeiningar“ eru ekki lög, en eftirlitsmenn búast við þeim. „Chef Hygiene sjálfgefið gildi“ er gildi sem appið ber saman við þar sem engin regla gefur upp tölu.

• LögfræðiNew food handlers without a food qualification take the course “Minimālās higiēnas prasības pārtikas uzņēmumā”: at least 3 hours, pass mark 70%, and retake every 3 years. This also applies to people out of food handling for more than 3 years (Cabinet Regulation 545).
• LögfræðiA first health check before starting is required for food-contact staff, with a family doctor’s opinion. There is no routine yearly repeat now, and the old sanitary booklet is dropped (Cabinet Regulation 447 of 2018).
• LögfræðiStop food work for vomiting, diarrhoea or a food-borne illness, and return with medical clearance (EU Regulation 852/2004 Annex II). Chef Hygiene uses 48 hours without symptoms; the Latvian clause on a doctor’s note was not found.
