What are the legal obligations in relation to food preparation areas?
I cannot answer for Australia, but in the U.S., we have codes for sanitation. This includes that equipment must be manufactured of “food grade material”. Which is a type of stainless steel. Also the food preparation of the food is exactly controlled and the sanitation of the food preparation, food storage and food serving areas. We use several national standards, but states also use their states “department of public health”. If you use that wording it should direct you to a site. if you want a national standard as an example look up untied states national standards and coast to food prep areas. I hope this helps.
