Thanks, I do have a couple of questions: Do you know if In HACCP Rules – Is a candy production factory allowed to ask visitors to sign GMP rules and regulations stating if a visitor has a communicable disease? Is a company allowed to make up there own HACCP rules and regulations or is there any particular form you should use? Thank you very much for your help on this!

Can anyone provide Bert with health guidelines or a checklist?

I think it's a good idea to have a basis for why you've chosen the questions you have for audit reasons. It's probably worth checking with the FDA, however, the (kinda) equivalent in the UK, the Food Standards Agency has this week published some updated guidance on this very subject! Badolan, aren't you lucky!

Take a look at the last page; I think that's what you're looking for?

I'd also consider some quick training for any contractors or temps on food safety and also informing any visitors who aren't contractors or temps that they cannot handle any foodstuffs and must stay with the person they are visiting at all times. Better still, if you have the ability to do so, building in a visitors section where they can see the process through (non glass) windows reduces the risk that visitors can face.
