Understanding Ohio Dept of Health Requirements

The Ohio Dept of Health (ODH) mandates that food service operators demonstrate knowledge of food safety principles. This is achieved through the Person in Charge certification. This requirement applies to all risk level I, II, III, and IV facilities. By having a certified PIC on-site during all hours of operation, businesses demonstrate a commitment to safety and compliance with state law. The certification covers critical topics such as cross-contamination prevention, personal hygiene, and time-temperature controls for safety (TCS) foods. Failure to have a certified individual present can lead to violations during health inspections.
