Food safety in construction site canteens is related to the health and life safety of construction workers, social stability, and economic development. To implement the spirit of the "Notice from the General Office of the National Food and Drug Administration on Effectively Strengthening Food Safety Supervision in the Circulation and Consumption Links in Summer to Prevent Food Poisoning," the Municipal Health Supervision Office and the Municipal Construction Safety Supervision Station aim to effectively ensure the health and dietary safety of construction workers, implement food safety supervision and management of construction site canteens, and prevent food poisoning and other food safety incidents. According to the relevant provisions of the "Food Safety Law" and the "Food Safety Operation Specifications for Catering Services," combined with the actual situation of our city, the following notice is issued to further strengthen the food safety supervision and management of construction site canteens in our city:
1. Unify thinking and raise awareness
Food safety in construction site canteens concerns the health of a large number of construction workers and the smooth progress of key projects and the overall construction of a civilized city in our city. Health supervision and building safety supervision agencies at all levels must fully recognize the importance of food safety work in construction site canteens, further enhance the sense of overall situation and responsibility, continue to deepen the standardized construction of construction site canteens in our city, strengthen daily supervision and management, take more resolute and effective measures, and further improve the food safety level of construction site canteens.
2. Clarify responsibilities and strengthen cooperation
Health supervision offices in all municipalities and districts should strengthen the catering service license management of construction site canteens, strictly review and issue "Catering Service Permits" in accordance with the "Measures for the Administration of Catering Service Permits." No permits shall be issued if the conditions stipulated in the "Measures for the Administration of Catering Service Permits" are not met. Those operating without a permit must be strictly dealt with according to law.
Building safety supervision agencies in all municipalities and districts should incorporate the daily supervision and management of construction site canteens into the construction site safety management system, consider the food safety management status of construction site canteens as part of the assessment and evaluation for construction, supervision, and construction units and civilized construction sites, and urge all construction, supervision, and construction units to fully implement various catering food safety management requirements.
Health supervision departments and building safety supervision agencies at all levels in the city should establish an information notification system, regularly exchange information on new construction projects, completions, and food safety status and information of construction site canteens, closely cooperate according to actual conditions, improve work mechanisms, and strive to eliminate food poisoning hazards.
The project leader of the construction site is the primary responsible person for food safety in the construction site canteen. The canteen management personnel are directly responsible for food safety, specifically responsible for establishing and improving various food safety management systems, implementing management measures, and ensuring the requirements of the "Construction Site Canteen Food Safety Notice" (see attachment) are implemented. Each site canteen should establish a food poisoning emergency plan. In case of food poisoning incidents, the responsible person should promptly report to the local health supervision agency and construction safety supervision department. Concealment, false reporting, or delayed reporting is strictly prohibited. At the same time, relevant disposal work should be actively carried out to prevent the expansion of accident hazards.
3. Focus on key points and strengthen supervision
Currently, food poisoning has entered a high-incidence season. Health supervision offices in all municipalities and districts should earnestly carry out special supervision and inspection of construction site canteens in accordance with the requirements of the "Notice from the General Office of the National Food and Drug Administration on Effectively Strengthening Food Safety Supervision in the Circulation and Consumption Links in Summer to Prevent Food Poisoning," strengthen supervision of key links such as food procurement documentation and food processing, and high-risk items such as green fish, green beans, and cold cooked dishes, and investigate food poisoning hazards. Building safety supervision agencies in all municipalities and districts should distribute the "Construction Site Canteen Food Safety Notice" to all construction sites to ensure full awareness, and urge construction site canteens to conduct self-inspection and rectification, implementing all rectification requirements proposed by health supervision departments. Recently, the Municipal Construction Safety Supervision Station and the Municipal Health Supervision Office will jointly organize food safety knowledge training for construction site canteens. Health supervision offices and building safety supervision agencies in all municipalities and districts should also strengthen the publicity and training of food safety laws and regulations, especially knowledge on preventing food poisoning, within their supervision areas to enhance the food safety awareness and risk prevention awareness of construction site project leaders and food safety management personnel.
In mid-July, the Municipal Health Supervision Office and the Municipal Construction Safety Supervision Station will conduct inspections on the supervision and management of food safety in construction site canteens in all municipalities and districts.
