Finland: ansattes sykdom og opplæring

«Lov» er en bindende regel. «Offisiell veiledning» er ikke lov, men inspektører forventer det. «Chef Hygiene standard» er en verdi appen sjekker mot der ingen regel oppgir et tall.

• 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.
