Starting from today until July 20, the Catering Industry Safety Award Scheme will accept entries from local catering establishments.
Participants should hold a valid full licence issued by the Food & Environmental Hygiene Department before August 12 this year, and their licences cannot have been suspended for whatever reason in the 12 months preceding that date, and throughout the competition period. They should not have recorded any serious or fatal industrial accidents or received any suspension notices issued by the Labour Department in the 12 months preceding the enrolment deadline.
Management of catering establishments are encouraged to nominate their supervisors to participate in the competition.
Entries will be divided into seven sub-categories: Chinese restaurants, restaurants (non-Chinese), hotels with kitchen, fast-food shops serving Western food, fast food shops serving both Chinese and general categories of food, cafes, and light refreshment eating places and canteens.
Preliminary assessment will take place in early August, with a final assessment in early September. Assessment criteria will cover various aspects concerning the safety conditions of catering establishments and their safety-management systems.
The scheme will also feature a safety quiz competition for people aged 15 or above. Entries will be accepted from today to August 8.
