The Hot & Cold Food Box Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) is a guide to safely handling and transporting potentially hazardous food in non-electrical and non-mechanical boxes. It supports food safety by preventing contamination and controlling temperatures.
It covers the hazards (cleaning chemicals, hot or cold objects, mould, manual handling and poor housekeeping), the PPE to wear, operator training, the pre-operational inspection of the boxes, and the steps for loading, unloading and transporting them, including safe lifting techniques and cleaning after use.
A training and induction register helps you track each worker's training and competency.
