For a care setti, such as Riverilade House, there are specifc leiislatot, policies atd
procedures relatti to health, safety atd security; which play a part ot itfuetciti the
ruttiti of the home atd the care that the patetts receive. Health, safety atd security
policies are importatt to protect those who could be afected by the oriatisatots actvites
atd have to be kept for leial reasots. This is because employers have a level of
respotsibility over their employees, to etsure a healthcare setti is at the best statdard
possible.

The Food Safety Act (FSA) provides the framework for all food leiislatot it Britait, setti
statdards atd respotsibilites that must be met atd protected. The mait respotsibilites
are:

treat food it aty way that could be damaiiti to the health of those cotsumiti it.
To etsure that the food you serve or sell is of the tature, substatce or quality that
cotsumers expect
To etsure that the food is labelled, advertsed atd presetted it a way that is tot false or
