Understanding E-coli 0157

Asset Certified Workbook
Achieve your certification on Food Hygiene/Safety to latest UK standards

On 17th November 1996, a church lunch was held in a public house in Wishaw, Strathclyde. Part of the lunch was cooked meat supplied by a local butcher. On November 26th, the first victim, Harry Shaw aged 80, died. The last fatality was a pensioner who died on June 2nd 1997. In all 20 people died. The infection was found to be E-coli 0157.

Just imagine the consequences if it was your company that had inadvertently supplied the meat. As an employer, you are as vulnerable as your weakest link.

This little booklet is written to form part of your "due diligence". It contains three parts:-

• The essential knowledge about the E-coli 0157 bacteria, its lifecycle and how to prevent it causing food borne illness.

• A 20 question multi choice test to establish understanding and knowledge. This can be either marked in house by senior personnel, or returned to us for marking and submission to ASET for certification. This carries an aditional charge of £6.50 per workbook.

• An optional observation section. This is to be completed by the owner, manager or supervisor and records best practice in daily operations.


ASET is a UK awarding body. This 3 part pack, once complete will form excellent audit documents as part of your companys due diligence systems.
