اٹلی: عملے کی بیماری اور تربیت

“قانون” ایک پابند اصول ہے۔ “سرکاری رہنمائی” قانون نہیں ہے، لیکن انسپکٹرز اس کی توقع کرتے ہیں۔ “Chef Hygiene ڈیفالٹ” ایک ایسی قدر ہے جس کے خلاف ایپ چیک کرتی ہے جہاں کوئی اصول نمبر نہیں دیتا ہے۔

• قانونItalian national law sets no food hygiene certificate, hours or renewal. The business must make sure staff are supervised and trained for their work (EU Regulation 852/2004). The old health booklet (libretto sanitario) ended in March 2021.
• قانونEach region sets its own training rules. In Lombardy the business trains its own staff with no set hours. In Emilia-Romagna there has been no regional course since 26 July 2025.
• قانونTuscany: everyone takes a 2-hour Module A; cooks, pizza makers and bartenders add a 4-hour Module B; owners and HACCP managers add an 8-hour Module C. Level 2 staff and managers do a 3-hour refresher every 5 years (regional decision DGR 540/2024).
• قانونFire wardens trained by the employer: 4 hours (level 1) or 8 hours (level 2), with a refresher at least every 5 years. First aid staff repeat their training at least every 3 years.
• قانونSick staff: anyone with a disease that can pass through food, infected wounds, skin infections or diarrhoea must not handle food, and must tell the business at once (EU Regulation 852/2004).
