As winter rolls in, many food businesses bring on seasonal staff to handle changing workloads. But with new faces in the facility comes a higher risk of food safety issues if training and testing aren’t prioritised.
At AML, we’ve seen firsthand how lapses in hygiene practices and unfamiliarity with protocols can lead to contamination and costly recalls. That’s why training and environmental monitoring are critical—especially when onboarding temporary staff.
🧼 Training First, Testing Always
Even short-term staff need to be trained in Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), allergen management, and personal hygiene standards. But training alone isn’t enough—routine microbial and allergen testing helps ensure that safety procedures are actually being followed.
🔬 How AML Can Help
- Tailored onboarding testing programs for new staff
- Allergen swab and surface testing to verify cleaning
- Routine monitoring to detect early issues before they escalate
Seasonal workers can be a great asset—but only if they’re backed by a strong safety system. Make sure your team, old and new, are working in a safe environment.
