Introduction; im writing to you in response to your report to investigate the issues that were behind the lack of hygiene in the kitchen on the 7th aug 2010. Procedure; me and the secretary had an one to one conversation about the issue and came up with the following outcome.
Findings; according to the secretary, we need to have a health and safety or a hygiene instruction in the kitchen for everyone one to be aware of the hazards. She also added a lack of an official duties to keep clean in the kitchen. As the secretary tries to keep tidy it’s the rest of the bunch who are negligent towards the kitchen leaving things everywhere, as you have noticed earlier on Thursday and Friday. As people left food in the fridge for weeks, I feel like it’s an adult we all should be responsible for our left overs or to clean up after which never happens or mostly the case. The dishwashers needs to be emptied once washed and to put away all the white wares and silver ware after and the bench tops should be clear at all times. As from the conversation, the secretary and I both thinks there should be a roster 2/3 a week to keep the kitchen tidy to avoid any future hazards. In the mean time I would like to reassure that there will be strict and positive measures to improve the life in the kitchen for the future visitors to avoid any discomforts.

Conclusion; from what I got from the secretary and from my own findings that perhaps we will call for a team talk and find a way that assures a healthy and safe kitchen. Your feedback however were very important and we do appreciate co-operation in regards.
