Why take this course?
Over 2 million cases of foodborne illness occur in the UK every year. The risk of illnesses from food increases when workers involved in the preparation, handling and serving of food do not have the information or training necessary to enable them to work safely and hygienically.
Food businesses have a legal responsibility to protect consumers from food that is damaging to health, from receiving food that is not of the nature, substance or quality which consumers expect and from food that is labelled, advertised and presented in a way that is false or misleading. Failure to comply with your duties and responsibilities as a food business may result in action being taken against you by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) or other enforcement agencies. By completing our Level 3 Food Hygiene and Safety in Manufacturing training course, food business owners, managers and supervisory staff will learn how to comply with food safety legislation and develop advanced knowledge of food hygiene principles and best practice procedures. The course will explain senior responsibilities, how to implement a food safety management system and how to maintain high standards to ensure safe and hygienic food handling.
Employees in non-senior roles involved in the preparation, handling and serving of food can be at risk of causing foodborne illnesses if the risks are not managed effectively. Food businesses must provide employees with information, instruction and training suitable to the work that they are carrying out. This will ensure that they understand the food safety legislation and practices in place, helping to protect the health and safety of themselves and others. Level 2 Food Hygiene and Safety for Manufacturing training would be more appropriate for non-senior staff who have no supervisory duties.
