Before starting work
For those working in a production environment in the food industry are required by law to have a salmonella certificate, a certificate of aptitude for food industry and a hygiene proficiency certificate. Please read the instructions below carefully to ensure that your start with us goes smoothly.
-
1. Salmonella certificate
- For the sample, you will receive the equipment according to the local instructions below. Follow the instructions on the package and the answer to the sample will be sent directly to Atria. You can also obtain a Salmonella certificate at your own expense. In this case, submit the certificate to your supervisor on the first working day. Take the sample without delay, as it takes about a week to get a result. Without this certificate you will not be able to start working at Atria.
Pick up the equipment at the gate of the Nurmo plant (on call 24/7).
Pick up the equipment from the red mailbox on the wall of the main gate of Kauhajoki production plant.
Pick up the equipment from Forssa production plant.
You will receive the equipment during a job interview or you can pick them up later from your supervisor at the Jyväskylä production plant.
Pick up the equipment from the control room opposite the main entrance to the factory area (on call 24/7).
Pick up the equipment from the Koskenkorva factory according to separate instructions.
Pick up the equipment according to the instructions you received separately from the factory supervisor.
Pick up the equipment from Domretor, instructions can be obtained from your future supervisor.
2. Certificate of aptitude for food industry
People working in the food industry must not suffer from an infectious disease of general danger and the skin of the hands should be healthy. You can get a certificate e.g. from the public health nurse of an adult clinic or health centre. Make sure you have the right certificate and that it is made for the food work. Deliver the certificate to your supervisor on the first working day. Please note that without this certificate you cannot start working at Atria. (If you have worked with us before and have already brought us a certificate of aptitude for food industry, a new certificate is not required.)
3. Hygiene proficiency certificate
(not applicable to Kuopio Best-In)
You must acquire a hygiene proficiency certificate at your own cost before the work starts. Deliver the certificate/card to your supervisor, who will photocopy it and return the original to you. (If you have worked with us before and have already brought your hygiene proficiency certificate for us to see, you do not need to bring the certificate again.)
