When restaurants fail to comply with Northern Health’s standards of safe operations their inspection results are posted online.
When restaurants fail to comply with Northern Health’s standards of safe operations, their inspection results are posted on a public forum entitled Northern Health restaurant ratings.
“We have policies and procedures in place which outline the inspection frequency for both routine and follow-up inspections so inspectors will come unannounced to a facility and introduce themselves to the manager and let them know they are there to do an inspection where they will check the physical structure, the type of food that is being prepared, and observe behaviours such as handwashing and hand hygiene of the staff,” Neelam Hayer, Northern Interior Team Lead, Environmental Health, said.
It depends on what has been sited that will generate a hazard rating at the end of the inspection, Hayer added. “There is a scale on which an observation may fall – sometimes an inspector may observe droppings close to the back door – any time it’s visible it is noted on the inspection report – and depending on the severity could result in closure,” Hayer said. “If there’s pest infestation that is impacting the food preparation area it could be rated anywhere on the scale from high to potential closure.”
