What Will You Gain?
By attending this Highfield Level 1 Food Safety in Catering course, you will understand the basic requirements of food safety and hygiene.
You will know how to keep yourself and your work areas clean and hygienic. You will also understand the role they play in reducing cross-contamination within your working environment.
In conclusion, on returning to the workplace, you will know how to identify and report key food safety issues.
Who Should Attend?
This Highfield Level 2 Food Safety course is ideal for employees who work in a food environment but who don’t handle or cook food. These roles include, but are not limited to, waiting or bar staff, kitchen porters, or employees handling low-risk, wrapped, or pre-packaged foods. This food safety training ensures they understand essential hygiene practices and compliance requirements.
This course is not suitable for anyone who prepares or cooks food. The Highfield Level 2 Award in Food Safety qualification would be more appropriate. Environmental Health Officers generally require food handlers to hold a level 2 food safety certificate in order to comply with the training requirements of the food hygiene regulations.
Why’s It Important?
Employers have a legal obligation to comply with the stringent rules of the Food Safety Act 1990 and the associated Food Hygiene Regulations; it is these systems that are fundamental to a “due diligence” defence.
If your employees work within a food handling environment, you have to ensure they receive food safety training appropriate to their job role.
Failing to comply with these regulations can carry heavy penalties in the way of fines, poor staff morale, loss of business, a bad reputation and possibly even imprisonment.
