Environmental Health Officers (EHOs) are responsible for inspecting food businesses to ensure that they are complying with food safety law. If you own a food business (or work for one as a manager, supervisor, full-time or part-time employee), then you should expect an EHO visit at some point and have a clear understanding of exactly what they’re looking to see.
Yes, our courses will help you to comply with food hygiene law and satisfy your local authority, as they are written in accordance with industry guidance set out by food hygiene legislation.
We recognise how important it is for businesses to apply good food hygiene practices. Therefore, we work with independent Environmental Health Officers (EHOs) and Practitioners, who have years of experience inspecting, auditing and giving technical advice to food businesses, to ensure our Food Hygiene and HACCP courses provide accurate and accessible information relating to food hygiene requirements. We also communicate with them for advice on any legislative changes, so we can always provide you with up-to-date compliance training.
