A comparison of the implementation of food hygiene standards between government and private catering establishments
Open accessAbstract
A comparison of the implementation of food hygiene standards between government and private catering establishments was conducted throughout 2010 in Tripoli, Libya.The study focused on whether there is an association between the two types of establishments, and the application of food safety measures by employees.The food handlers' questionnaire was designed to assess food safety and hygiene measures resulting from staff training as well as to detect the similarities and the differences between the two types of institutes in application of food hygiene standards.Respondents were asked about food hygiene practices in their catering institutions, their attitude towards a range of food hygiene related issues and habits, that are considered crucial during food preparation, whereas the supervisors (managers) questionnaire was intended to investigate their awareness of the hazards, control, and any performance plans relating to their catering.The results showed that the level of implementation of food hygiene standards in private catering institution is higher than in the government ones.In addition, the supervisors of private institutions were more aware of food safety and food hygiene than the supervisors of government institutions.In general, the performance of food handlers and supervisors working in private sector is better than the performance of those working in government sector.

Staff in private eating establishments are aware of the high penalty of losing their jobs by being instantly dismissed if they do not follow such practices, whereas government workers are fairly assured that they have their jobs secured regardless of whatever situation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
