Dear All,
 

The organization that i work for is a food packaging manufacturer.Is there a need of conducting medical examination for all the staff working in the chain, and if so which close in the standard talks about this.

 

Kindly assist.

 

Regards,

 

Maurice.

Maurice, what you can and cannot ask employees and others about their medical health depends very much on your region and the laws that apply.

 

The kind of medical / health surveying systems that may be expected for a food safety point of view are:

 

- New employee health review (pre employment or post employment)

- Visitor / contractor health survey prior to entry to factory

- Employee return to work health review following absence through illness

- Employee return to work health review following holiday to high risk regions

- Employees reporting illness at work

 

Regards,

Simon
