Letonya: personel hastalığı ve eğitimi

“Kanun”, bağlayıcı bir kuraldır. “Resmi kılavuz” kanun değildir, ancak denetçiler bunu bekler. “Chef Hygiene varsayılan”, hiçbir kuralın sayı vermediği durumlarda uygulamanın kontrol ettiği bir değerdir.

• KanunNew 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).
• KanunA 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).
• KanunStop 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.
