SOCIAL CARE, HEALTH AND HOUSING CABINET BOARD REPORT OF THE HEAD OF BUSINESS STRATEGY AND PUBLIC PROTECTION – A. THOMAS 14th May 2015 SECTION B - MATTER FOR INFORMATION WARD(S) AFFECTED: All TITLE OF REPORT ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND TRADING STANDARDS – FOOD HYGIENE TRAINING PURPOSE OF REPORT To inform Members of the work that the Environmental Health Food Safety team does to educate and train Food business operators in Neath Port Talbot to produce safe food. BACKGROUND The Environmental Health and Trading Standards Service successfully bid for two grant from the Food Standards Agency (FSA) which enabled an extensive range of workshops and coaching to be organised in 2014 / 15 to train and educate targeted sectors of food businesses within Neath Port Talbot on safe food management systems. European and National legislation require that all food businesses must have procedures in place to ensure they have adequate food safety management procedures. A Food Safety Management System is a way of managing food safety and is based on putting in place procedures to control hazards. Food Business Operators should:1. Closely examine what they do and assess what could go wrong. 2. Identify areas that need attention to either prevent hazards or reduce them to an acceptable level. 3. Put procedures in place to ensure hazards are controlled in specific areas, 4. Decide what action is needed if something does go wrong 5. Make sure that their procedures work. Environmental Health’s Food Safety Team have participated in a number of projects, as a result of the FSA funding that they have received and details of some of these are shown below. Project 1 – Butcher and Chinese training Butcher Training – “Safe Food Handling for Butchers” There are currently 17 butchery establishments within the Neath Port Talbot CBC area, all of which were offered the opportunity to attend 2 organised workshops on the “Safe Food Handling for Butchers” latest guide produced by the Food Standards Agency Northern Ireland and the Chief Environmental Health Officers Group Northern Ireland. All butchers also had the opportunity to arrange a “one to one” coaching visit at the business premises on their safe food management system with the emphasis on either Safer Food Better Business or the Butchers guide. 59% of all Neath Port Talbot butchers attended a workshop. The workshop comprised of a presentation of the guide and all butchers were encouraged to bring their current HACCP (Hazard and Critical Control Points) plan to enable relevant advice and information to be tailored to the business. Two butchers attended the workshop who were in the process of renovating a butchery establishment and intended to start trading in the near future as Valley Butchers in Ystalyfera. The aim of the workshops was to assist the Butchers to gain invaluable experience and knowledge on all relevant issues to assist them to improve understanding of the on-going requirements of the Pennington report, to comply with food hygiene legislation and to build on existing good practice. Raising awareness of the recently published “Safe Food Handling for Butchers” Northern Ireland guidance also gave an opportunity to promote the revised FSA guidance “E.Coli 0157 Control of cross contamination”. The workshops were held in Neath Civic Centre, Neath on the 13th October 2014 between 2pm and 5pm and in Port Talbot Civic Centre, Port Talbot on 20th October 2014 between 10am to 1pm. Each workshop and coaching visit was carried out by an external contractor employed by the authority specifically to undertake this work and funded entirely from the FSA grants. A follow up coaching visit was carried out to 6 Butchers in Neath Port Talbot. These butchers requested the visit which was carried out at the business premise and comprised of a meeting with the food business operator to discuss and advise on the appropriate safe food management system for that business. It is hoped that the businesses which attended the workshop and received a coaching visit under this initiative and have not yet attained the highest possible food hygiene rating will improve their food safety management system and procedures and consequently their confidence in management score by the time of their next inspection. Chinese training on “Safer Food Better Business” All Chinese food business operators were invited to training event in the Gnoll Country Park, Neath on 12th January 2015. The course was delivered to food businesses on the safe food management system guide “ Safer Food Better Business”. There are 35 Chinese food businesses operating throughout Neath Port Talbot, 27 businesses had a representative who attended the course (77%), 4 businesses has 2 representatives and 2 businesses had 3 representatives present to learn about safe food management procedures. A qualified trainer also visited interested Chinese food businesses to provide one to one coaching visits to educate and assist the food business operator to have procedures in place to manage food safety hazards in their business. The funding for the coaching visits allowed 9 businesses to be visited by the trainer. All available coaching sessions were taken up and were completed by the end of February 2015. Project 2 -Joint Training Initiative between Neath Port Talbot CBC and Swansea City Council A joint initiative between Neath Port Talbot CBC and Swansea City Council enabled training events to be held for food businesses on the National guidance issued by the Food Standards Agency in the published guide “Safer Food Better Business”. The training involved the use of a mobile kitchen facility which allowed practical food hygiene training to be given in conjunction with a presentation on the FSA published guide. Demonstrations included practical cross contamination control and also 2 –stage cleaning. The training workshop was run on 4 occasions and each workshop was open to 20 businesses consisting of 10 from Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council and 10 from Swansea City Council. Two workshops were run for English businesses, one for Chinese and one for Bengali. Turkish food businesses received a coaching visit from a Turkish speaking trainer. The aim of the workshops and coaching were to target underachieving businesses which have scored poorly for management under the National Food Hygiene Rating Scheme. A translator was present at the Chinese workshop to re-enforce understanding. Bengali Food Business Workshop A Bengali language trainer visited businesses before and after delivering the training course on 24th September 2014 to ensure positive attendance and positive output from the training. Seven businesses from Neath Port Talbot attended the course, mainly Indian takeaways and restaurants. Chinese Food Business workshop The Workshop was delivered by Environmental Health Officers with the assistance of a translator. 5 food businesses from Neath Port Talbot attended the course which included a practical demonstration using the mobile kitchen. English Business workshops An excellent attendance from Neath Port Talbot food businesses saw representatives from 17 Food businesses attend the two workshops organised. The businesses ranged from Day Nurseries, Coffee shops and Fish and Chip shops. Turkish Food Business coaching A Turkish language food hygiene trainer delivered food hygiene training based around the “ Safer Food Better Business” guide, at the business premises on a coaching basis. This involved a 2 hour advice and coaching session with 10 Food Hygiene business, mainly Kebab and Burger/Pizza businesses. Importance of Food Safety The Food Safety team aims to protect and improve public health by inspecting food businesses and educating managers and staff within the food industry to ensure that food that is made and/or sold is safe to eat. The food team routinely inspect food businesses throughout the County Borough to ensure it is safe to eat, however, training and educating Food Business Operators is important to raise awareness of their food hygiene requirements and their legal obligations. Safe Food management systems are also considered by Inspecting Officers when awarding Food hygiene rating scores. The Food Hygiene Rating Scheme is designed to help consumers choose where to eat out or shop by providing information about hygiene standards in restaurants, pubs, cafes, takeaways, hotels etc, as well as supermarkets and other food shops.
