Food Business - Food Safety - Risk Assessment


Service Description: The Council always tries to focus resources into "worst first" businesses: those businesses that present the highest risk to public health have the most investigation. What makes a business a higher risk than any other will depend upon a number of factors such as the record of the business, the confidence in management, the ingredients, hygiene and particular processing. The Environmental Health department uses a risk rating form closely modelled on that recommended by central government. Officers are checked to ensure that they are applying the rating scheme consistently.
