Food Safety Management
Are you an operator, contractor or caterer who needs needs to plan, develop, implement or improve a food safety & potable water management programs based on Haccp within your HSE system for your project or operation?
Everyone involved in the contracting or operation of catering facilities has a responsibility to ensure food and water is safe.
The purpose of food safety & water management programs are to ensure that agreed standards of food safety and food hygiene are achieved across all sites to reduce the risk of work related foodborne illness.
E&P operations and projects are often in places where local food safety standards are not ideal. This sometimes means that more thought needs to be given to food safety to compensate for local limitations.
A formal preventative food safety & water management based on the principles of HACCP is relevant to both operators and contractors as part of the occupational health program. We can provide practical 'hands on' help to develop and implement a food safety system within your occupational health plan.
Food safety expertise can work within the Supply Chain, Occupational Health / HSE team to :
● Plan develop, implement or improve food safety & potable water management programs for your project or operation.
● Define and document food safety & potable water standards for onshore and / or offshore facilities.
● Define the accountability
● Work with supply chain management and managers accountable for catering contracts.
● Define food safety management monitoring / audit programs
● Visit catering sites to assess facility standards and catering staff behaviours
● Prioritise issues and provide inspection reports
● Support catering subcontractors and contract holders by helping to identify solutions
● Implement an ongoing food safety audit program

Food Safety Incident Investigations
Do you need a specialist Food Safety Advisor in your HSE team to identify the root causes of a food safety incident?
● Food or water can sometimes be implicated when several people become ill at the same time.
● Incidents can occur even when food safety systems are in place due to lapses in procedure
● Foodborne illness is more likely if a food safety management program is not in place
● An investigation to identify the root cause requires an understanding of catering operations
● An understanding of food safety management systems and food hygiene are also required
● Food safety expertise can be brought into the investigation team
● Recommendations from the investigation may also require food safety expertise.
