Food Safety Level 1
Food businesses must, by law, ensure that all staff have received the appropriate level of safety and hygiene training commensurate with their role and risk. Food safety is a useful induction programme for those undertaking work-experience in a food business, and for anyone with a keen interest in learning more about the basic principles of food safety and hygiene.
This online course is suitable for those working in a catering environment who are not directly involved in the preparation or handling of high-risk foods, but work in an environment where food is handled elsewhere or deal only with low-risk foods. It is also ideal for those working with pre-packaged or wrapped food.
Who it's aimed at?:
This course is ideal if you work in a low-risk catering environment or are simply looking to expand your knowledge as a hobbyist. However, if you are involved, or are going to be involved in the direct preparation of food within a business environment, you must be trained to a higher level.
