Food premises self-inspection with eAuditor
Food premises self-inspection allow food establishment owners, managers, or employees to proactively monitor and maintain the cleanliness, hygiene, and safety of their premises.
It involves using a mobile eAuditor to conduct self-assessments and inspections of food premises to ensure compliance with food safety regulations and best practices.
Here’s how it typically works:
Mobile eAuditor Installation:
Begin by downloading and installing a food premises self-inspection eAuditor from your smartphone’s store.
User Setup:
Launch the eAuditor and set up a user profile for the food establishment conducting the self-inspection. This may involve entering details such as the establishment’s name, address, and relevant contact information.
Inspection Setup:
The eAuditor may provide options to customize the inspection based on the specific areas you want to assess (e.g., kitchen, storage, dining area). You can also select from pre-defined templates or checklists that cover common food safety and hygiene considerations.
Guided Checklist:
The eAuditor will present a checklist of items or areas to evaluate during the self-inspection. The checklist typically covers various aspects, such as food storage, food handling practices, cleaning and sanitization, pest control, employee hygiene, and documentation compliance.
Data Collection:
As you go through the checklist, the eAuditor will guide you in inspecting each item or area of the food premises. It may prompt you to answer questions, provide ratings, take photos, or record observations to document compliance or non-compliance.
Corrective Actions:
If any non-compliance issues are identified during the inspection, the eAuditor may provide options to note the specific issues and propose corrective actions. This helps ensure that necessary steps are taken to rectify deficiencies and maintain food safety standards.
Documentation:
The eAuditor allows you to document your findings, observations, or concerns regarding each item on the checklist. You can add notes, attach media files (photos, videos), and record any relevant information for future reference or reporting purposes.
Reporting:
Once the self-inspection is complete, the eAuditor generates a comprehensive report summarizing the inspection findings. The report may include a breakdown of compliance ratings, identified issues, recommended actions, and any additional remarks or comments.
Follow-up Actions:
Based on the inspection findings, the eAuditor may provide functionality to assign and track follow-up actions or corrective measures. This helps ensure that identified issues are addressed promptly and documented for future reference.
Data Storage and Sharing:
The eAuditor securely stores the inspection reports and related data. You may have the option to share the reports with relevant stakeholders, such as management, health inspectors, or regulatory authorities, for further analysis, action, or compliance purposes.
