As per subpart 14.1 Section 14-1.73 of the NYS Sanitary Code, OCPH has established the following requirements:
A Certified Food Worker is required to be present at all operating times for food service establishments, including temporary food stands. Operating times are defined as any time when food preparation is being performed and is not limited to the establishment’s operating hours.
All medium and high risk facilities, as well as operators of more than one pushcart need to have a person on record with L1 Certification.
The person on record cannot be designated for multiple establishments.
The presence of a L1 Worker can also satisfy the requirement for a L2 Worker.
Low risk facilities such as bars or ice cream shops do not require a L1 Worker; however they do need a L2 Worker present at all operating times of food service.
Low risk temporary food stands do not need a certified food worker on site.
