Who should take this course?
This Level 1 Food Hygiene and Safety course is designed for workers who are not directly involved with the preparation or handling of high-risk foods but work in an environment where food is present or handled elsewhere. This also includes those who work with wrapped or pre-packaged foods. For example:
- Front of house employees.
- Checkout staff.
- Waiters.
- Bar workers.
- Food delivery drivers and riders.
- Kitchen porters.
- Low-risk food retailers (e.g. newsagents, sweet shops).
- Warehouse staff.
If your role involves directly handling or preparing food, then you need to take Level 2 Food Hygiene and Safety (available for retail, catering, and manufacturing) in order to comply with food handlers’ legal obligations.
If you are a manager or supervisor in a food business, you will require Level 3 Food Hygiene and Safety.
