This section allows up to two entries for the preparation setting. Leave the second setting section blank if there is only one setting where food/beverage was prepared.

To complete a preparation setting, first select the appropriate headline option:

(i) Overseas manufacturer
(ii) Food premises
(iii) Institution
(iv) Workplace/Community/Other

Once the headline option has been selected, indicate the setting where the exposure occurred. Only select the Other option if none of the preceding options are appropriate. If Overseas manufacturer, specify the product and manufacturer. If the setting is not known, select the Setting unknown checkbox.

Once the header option, and the detail option have been selected, users can choose the Setting name from a drop-down list. Selecting a Setting name from the list will automatically populate all the relevant address fields.

To add a new setting to a drop-down list, complete the name and address details and tick the Geocode checkbox. If you do not have an address, you must still ‘geocode’ and select a TA. Note that you cannot add an entry to the Long term care facility, Hospital, Prison, School and Childcare centre lists. Contact EpiSurv Support to have a new item added to these lists.
