REQUIREMENTS AND AIMS OF EDUCATION
Information, skills, and/or attitudes to be acquired by slaughterhouse personnel through education and/or training
Understanding that their work must be conducted in a hygienic way as it is essential to produce meats and meat products which are safe for the consumer public
Awareness, throughout their working time, that they are working with food products
Understanding the consequences of possible mistakes during processing and cleaning procedures (e.g. which might cause unintended contamination)
Understanding the necessity of personal hygiene and the significance of frequent hand-washing
Knowledge of procedures for cleaning of knives, other utensils and work surfaces must be well understood and practised
Motivation to collaborate with inspectors and technicians in the cleanliness of operations and of premises
Understanding the need to inform managers/inspectors of any symptoms of disease
Understanding that the personnel themselves can become infected during the handling of meat or in close association with animals and the means by which such infections can be avoided
