Posted By irene bezant Hello Malcolm, Try The Food Safety Act 1990 as it is the "mother" Act for all Food Safety and is applicable to all food premises. ... it covers general requirements for the design, construction and operation of food premises. Hope that helps

Posted By Descarte I think the CDM regs will also have some info, such as toilets cannot lead directly onto and from food preperation, handling, consuming area and so forth but am not 100% sure or where abouts. Im sure one of our esteemed colleagues here can point you in the right direction

Posted By Dave Wilson Food Safety Act is like the H&S Act in that it is an enabling act, Food Hygine Regulations discuss how to maintain Hygienic food premises and processes (HACCP etc). CDM deals with H&S During construction and Demo - could be construted as designers duties to design out hazards and risks Building regs is the one I believe or as an architect or the LA

Posted By taff idle You need to look in Regulation (EC) 852/2004 Annex 2 for the actual regs themsleves, but they are very general, Things like.. All articles, fittings and equipment with which food comes into contact are to be installed in such a manner as to allow adequate cleaning of the equipment and the surrounding area. Regulation (EC) 852/2004 Annex 2 Chapter 5 Para 1(d) The layout, design, construction, siting and size of food premises are to permit good food hygiene practices, including protection against contamination and, in particular, pest control. Regulation (EC) 852/2004 Annex 2 Chapter 1 Para 2(c) As stated above, best to speak to your local EH department about this one. The requirements haven't changed hugely from the old Food Safety (General Food Hygiene) Regulations 1995, but they have changed. Hope this helps.
