Legal Compliance
At Nyama Catering, we are very serious about Health and safety and its legalities. There are so many risks when it comes to the catering industry that it is essential to ensure all the correct procedures, processes, and policies are in place to provide a service that is not only law-abiding but also provides peace of mind:
Nyama is run from a proper commercial kitchen designed to ensure we comply with all the legal requirements for a food preparation area.
Nyama staff is well-trained in Food Hygiene Standards. They are also very aware of all the health and safety risks at work and when out working at a function.
Nyama has numerous food safety management procedures and regularly checks to ensure they work.
Nyama has a proper refuse collection in place.
At times, we use gas appliances for which we have the necessary safety certification here and here.
To manage our business's health and safety, we must understand and control the risks in our workplace. To do this, we have considered what might cause harm to people, documented it in this risk assessment and a COSHH assessment, and attempted to take reasonable steps to prevent that harm.
We furthermore have a Health & Safety Policy in place, which can be found here.
The procedure for setting up and shutting down our mobile kitchen can be found in the method statement here.
