Health, safety and hygiene legislations are enforced to ensure that every business
who undertakes any food servicing to understand the basic principles of the laws.
These laws are there to influence food businesses to follow the laws and to enable a
good working environment with a good clean kitchen with good healthy food to
service. Under the law food businesses are responsible for health and safety
management. They're accountable for all the actions that are occurring during the
food operation and it's their job to manage the health, safety and hygiene. On top of
that, It is the food businesses duty to protect the health, safety and welfare of their
employees and other people who might be affected by their business. Employers
must do whatever is reasonably practicable to achieve this. The food businesses do
have a few risks which can be harmful to the employees, however there are a few
rules and laws to enable less minimum risk to health.
