• All foods must be covered to prevent them becoming contaminated.<br />

• <strong>The</strong>se checks should be carried out when you open and before you close.<br />

Checking supplies of hand washing materials<br />

• <strong>The</strong> hand wash basins should be checked for adequate supplies of bactericidal soap and paper towels.<br />

• Supplies should be replenished if necessary.<br />
