Essential Food Safety Skills for Employees
Food handlers and their employers have a legal obligation to manage food safety, as outlined by various EU and UK regulations. These laws require food handlers to ensure all food prepared, cooked, served, or sold is safe for human consumption. Failing to adhere to food safety standards can result in contamination, leading to potentially life-threatening consequences. The Level 1 Food Safety – Manufacturing E-Learning course is designed to provide you with the essential knowledge to understand your responsibilities regarding food safety. This course is perfect for staff induction training and is ideal for new employees with little to no prior food safety knowledge, employees handling low-risk or wrapped foods (Category A), front-of-house employees like waiting or checkout staff, and back-of-house employees such as kitchen porters or warehouse staff.
By completing the Level 1 Food Safety – Manufacturing course you will gain a stronger awareness of the risks associated with poor food safety practices. The course will also cover how food safety risks arise and provide effective methods for controlling and preventing them. Approved by leading industry bodies such as IOSH, The Institute of Hospitality, IIRSM, Gatehouse Awards, and CPD, this online course ensures employees receive high-quality education that meets rigorous industry standards.
