The unit applies to all organisations with permanent or temporary kitchen premises or smaller food preparation areas, and to food handlers who directly handle food in their daily work, including cooks, chefs, caterers, kitchen hands and food and beverage attendants. The six elements cover following the food safety program, storing food safely, preparing food safely, providing safe single use items, maintaining a clean environment, and disposing of food safely.
