ORHMA and Surety Food Safety Group hold productive meeting with Toronto Public Health

"Member Alert" Inspectors will be conducting a blitz to insure all establishments are in compliance with Food Handler Certification Bylaw 678-2006. In response the Association has made a special arrangement with Surety that members should take advantage of. To learn more click here…(see attachment)

As a service to members - arrangements are being made for ORHMA and Surety to distribute the DineSafe – How to Pass your DineSafe Inspection, a booklet and Eight Simple Steps to a Pass an 11”x17” wall chart – in support of the City of Toronto’s food premises inspection and disclosure system. Watch for details. Collectively we want all members to become recognized for their safe food handling practices.

The management of Toronto Public Health has high praise for our food safety self-inspection checklists, a regular feature in the Insider Report. In the past three issues we focused on Employee Hygiene & Handwashing, Food Protection from Contamination and Maintenance & Sanitation of Washrooms. All on your Inspector’s radar screen. For use in your business these can download at: http://www.suretygroup.net/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=MEDIA

In upcoming issues of the Insider we will continue to provide self-inspection checklists for patios, barbequing, pest control, waste management and other member alerts. And should you have issues of concern related to food safety and inspections we can communicate with the Board of Health on your behalf in confidence and provide answers in a timely manner.
