Our Food hygiene level 1 training course is ideal for beginners working in food handling and preparation. 1 in 10 people fall ill each year due to contaminated food. This number would be drastically reduced if everyone working with food completed an approved food safety & hygiene training course – It is essential that anyone who works where food is made, prepared or sold has a good understanding of food hygiene, even if they do not handle food. Comprehensive health and safety training is a legal requirement for those working with consumables: Food Safety and Hygiene Level 1 provides a good understanding of food hazards and food poisoning; covering contamination, personal hygiene, cleanliness in the food preparation area, and the storage and temperature of food. It also looks at waste disposal and food pests. Whether you operate in Catering, Hospitality, or Retail, our online food hygiene level 1 course explains the hazards associated with poor food hygiene, and what to do to keep food safe. Ensure best practice and work towards legal compliance in just 50 minutes. Our course is broken down into 4 easy-to-follow sections: an introduction to food safety, personal hygiene, cleanliness and cross-contamination, the storage of food and time and temperature controls. Want to build on level 1 training or require level 2 training? We also provide IOSH Approved Food Safety and Hygiene Level 2 training. This course is not a formal RQF food safety & hygiene qualification, the levels indicate the type of course so that businesses can choose whom it is suitable for.
