Food Hygiene Regulations

That the authorities have refused unreasonably to accept compliance with alternative requirements or that the requirements of the notice are otherwise unreasonable in character or extent, or are unnecessary. This defense is self-explanatory. The local authorities are only permitted to ask for works that will abate the noise nuisance. Other works (perhaps to comply with legislation) should not be specified in the notice. They may, however, be contained in a letter separate from the notice. An example of this would be where the fitting of acoustic enclosures to food-manufacturing machines breached food hygiene requirements. Readily cleanable enclosures may be a requirement of the Food Hygiene Regulations, but it should not be contained in a Section 58 Control of Pollution Act notice. 

A worker s body may need protection against heat or cold, bad weather, chemical or metal splash, impact or penetration and contaminated dust. Alternatively, there may be a risk of the worker s own clothes causing contamination of the product, as in the food industry. Appropriate clothing will be recommended in the company s health and safety policy. Ordinary working clothes and clothing provided for food hygiene purposes are not included in the Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations. 

Where the site buildings are not regarded as fixed premises, kitchens and canteens are subject to the Food Hygiene (Markets, Stalls and Delivery Vehicles) Regulations 1966 and the Food Hygiene (Markets, Stalls and Delivery Vehicles) Amendments Regulations 1966 under which (he requirements are virtually the same as those discussed above.

Hygiene and Regulation Almost unique to MF is the influence of regulatoiy concerns in selec tion and implementation of a suitable microfilter. Since MF is heavily involved with industries regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, concerns about process stabihty, consistency of manufacture, virus reduc tion, pathogen control, and material safety loom far larger than is usually found in other membrane separations.
