Food handler’s return to work following sickness form

Those who handle food should not continue with their duties while there is a risk of contamination. Use our form to ensure that employees are fit to return to work following sickness.

Why is this necessary?

Illnesses which present symptoms such as diarrhoea and vomiting can be transmitted through food. Both employees and members of management have a duty to control the risk of contamination and act accordingly to prevent others being put at risk.

Our document Food Handler’s Return to Work Following Sickness Form can be used to ensure workers have been clear of symptoms for the recommended amount of time and they are deemed fit to work.
