ONE STOP SAFETY TRAINING

Food Safety Training

Food preparation, transportation and handling come with a wide range of health and safety legislation attached to them. Ensuring that staff who handle food at any time in your operation have the appropriate level of food safety training and certification is critical.

Whether you’re a food processing plant, a local bar or restaurant, a sandwich bar or mobile catering facility in town, that all-important certificate is vital to your operation.

Why is Food Safety Training Important?

The Food Standards Agency recently produce a report that provided some startling statistics:

  • There are more than 380,000 norovirus cases in the UK alone, all linked to the food we buy in supermarkets, restaurants and elsewhere.
  • This is estimated to lead to more than 2.4 million cases of illness every year.

While we can’t stop every instance of contamination and potential illness when it comes to handling food, ensuring that staff have even the basic training required is critical in helping to reduce the problem.

A food safety training course provides several useful skills, including:

  • Maintaining safety while preparing food.
  • Understanding the best practices and storage techniques for different types of food.
  • Minimising the potential for contamination while handling food.
  • Ensuring that surfaces, where food is kept and prepared, are hygienically clean.

Of course, an instance of food poisoning or a sanction for lax health and safety can be the death of many food businesses. Ensuring that all staff handling food, at any stage, are properly certified not only gives you peace of mind it protects your customers and your business as well.
