Health & Safety : Central Guidance

cold chain compliance

Cold Chain Compliance is the brand for the advisory work of the Federation. Our focus will be on producing simple, accessible, guides that tell people what they need to know about key regulatory challenges from health and safety, to refrigeration management and food safety, as well as providing bespoke answers to member’s compliance queries.

KEEPING PEOPLE SAFE IN A COLD STORE

This is our central guidance for employees and employers outlining the risks unique to the temperature-controlled environment and advice on how to minimise them.

HOW YOU CAN USE ‘KEEPING PEOPLE SAFE IN A COLD STORE’ IN YOUR BUSINESS
