SCHOOLS, NURSERIES, CHILDRENS CLUBS ETC ALL NEED ADEQUATE PEST CONTROL MEASURES IN PLACE

Pest control needs to be in place in these establishments as children are present and these properties normally contain food areas, staff only areas, specialist areas such as swimming pools and gyms as well as the duty of care placed on school management. Schools will also have to ensure that the public-facing areas of their businesses show high standards of hygiene to inspire confidence, and maintain a credible reputation.

INADEQUATE PEST CONTROL CAN LEAD TO:

  • Contamination of raw materials
  • Loss of revenue
  • Possible fines and charges
  • Loss of trust of parents and the public

Management of  pest issues in schools and similar education establishments are a legal requirement and is governed by various regulations:

The Prevention of Damage by Pests Act 1949

This regulation requires local authorities to “take such steps as may be necessary to secure so far as practicable that their district is kept free from rats and mice”. The council may therefore enforce against the owner or the occupier of land.

The Food Hygiene (England) Regulations 2006

The regulations make it an offence for businesses to supply food which is not safe to be eaten. It also specifies that: All food businesses must register with the relevant authorities. Food should always be labelled correctly and should meet the relevant quality standards.

The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974

This regulation ensures that all employers provide a safe working environment and look out for the health of their employees—wherever their place of work. It relates to the wellbeing of not only permanent staff but also casual, self-employed and temporary workers, as well as visiting members of the public.

ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH vISITS

Inspections are carried out by Environmental Health Inspectors from the local authority working within the guidelines laid down by the 

Food Standards Agency.

Inspectors will be checking that your business produces food that is safe to eat. This will include checkingyour premises, the kinds of food you make or prepare, how you work, your food safety management system

The inspectors will also be checking your food descriptions and labelling to make sure they are not misleading.

Inspections can take place at any time – they may be pre-arranged routine inspections or they may be as a result of a complaint – inspectors have the right to enter and inspect food premises at all reasonable hours. They do not have to make an appointment and will usually come without notice.
