Question about hygienipassi

[jaromyre]

Hello!
I have a question for you, you will probably know if you need hygienipassi to work as a dish washer, for example, in a restaurant?
Best regards.

"By the general EU regulation (852/2004/EU) on food hygiene, a food enterpriser is to take care that
all employers are oriented, instructed and when necessary trained in matters concerning food
hygiene in a manner adapted to their work assignments.

The National Food Act (23/2006, amended by 1137/2008) requires that those who in their work
handle unpackaged and highly perishable food in a food space mandatorily approved according to
the Food Act shall confirm their hygiene proficiency with a certificate on food hygiene proficiency
compliant with the model set by the Food Safety Authority Evira; i.e., a so-called ”hygiene
passport”. "

From what I've heard, no. It's pretty much the only job you can get in a bar/restaurant without one though.

It's pretty much the only job you can get in a bar/restaurant without one though.

But than you are restricted to only a very limited part of the work in a kitchen.
Since dish washing often is not a full time job, you have to help out with other tasks.
Without hygienipassi you're officially not qualified. Ergo employer probably will look for someone with the pass.

as a restaurant manager I would never employ anyone without that hygienipassi. who ever works in the food industrie should have a bit of a clue about hygine, also when they are not directly involved in preparing and serving food.
Do that test, its really not a master degree and also not a big investment.
