All staff have been briefed on the required contact time for this specific product.<br /> Hot Water Provision: We have verified that the bar sink does provide hot water. However, as it can take time to reach the required temperature, we have implemented a &quot;flush&quot; protocol at the start of every shift. We are also consulting a plumber for a permanent solution<br /> Pest Proofing: All structural gaps identified in the back room have been professionally sealed by a builder. We have also added a &quot;Gaps and Cracks&quot; check to our bi-weekly internal audit.<br /> Storage &amp; Flooring: All stock is now stored off the floor on appropriate shelving. We have a contractor scheduled to lay industrial vinyl flooring this month to ensure the surface is non-absorbent and easy to clean - He is quoting next week.<br /> Training: All staff members have been enrolled in Level 1 Food Hygiene Training, with a mandatory completion deadline of 30th April.<br /> <br /> Documentation: The Safer Food, Better Business (SFBB) pack is now fully completed, and our daily/weekly opening and closing checks are being strictly recorded.</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> &nbsp;</p>
