Health and safety is something we tend to take for granted - until an accident happens that affects us personally. And then it's too late. This practical programme demonstrates the core health and safety issues that affect us all, such as lifting things, and shows why being careful has to become second nature even when we're really busy. The key message is that we have to take responsibility for our own safety, and the safety of others, at all times. Using Rick Stein's Seafood restaurant and hotel business as a case study, the programme demonstrates how health and safety procedures and principles involve people from different parts of the business - chefs, waiters, admin staff, cleaners, and drivers. It covers three main areas of health and safety at work: manual handling; fire; slips, trips, cuts and burns.

Imagine a world with no food regulations that protected the public from harmful foods and ingredients - products high in harmful chemicals; no use by dates; inadequate packaging - it would be catastrophic. In Australia and New Zealand, the organisation responsible for this is Food Standards Australia New Zealand - or FSANZ. The independent government organisation as we know it today came into existence in 2001. This program looks at the nature and structure of the organisation; its goals; its interaction with the food industry; the development of food standards; and the relationship between FSANZ and other authorities. Various perspectives on the vital and complex work of FSANZ are offered by the organisation's communications manager, Lydia Buchtmann, also Brendan Gillespie the Operations Manager of pasta manufacturing company, Ubaldi Foods, and Moreland City Council's environmental health officer, Vicky Lambropoulous.
