When to use this sheet
Use this when a check fails, a delivery is rejected, or equipment is taken out of use and you need one note of the problem, the immediate action and the prevention.
How to complete it
Write what was wrong, what you did to the food or equipment, what will stop a repeat, and who signed. Write it when you deal with the problem.
What this does not replace
A completed form does not replace the safe method, and it does not guarantee a food hygiene rating.
