Food Safety Training

Employers have a legal obligation to comply with the stringent rules of the Food Safety Act 1990 and the various Food Hygiene Regulations and it is these systems that are fundamental to a 'due diligence' defence. Failure to comply with these regulations can carry heavy penalties for caterers, retailers and manufacturers in the way of fines, poor morale, loss of business, create a poor reputation and even lead to imprisonment.

These qualifications have been developed to provide food handlers with an appreciation of the fundementals of good food hygiene practice and to equip them with the practical skills necessary to work safely with food.

The law holds the business owner responsible!

Every year, millions of people suffer from the effects of food poisoning bacteria, with symptoms such as diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting and stomach cramps. Some of these people may even die. Many people will have eaten food which has been contaminated by poor food hygiene practices during preparation, storage or cooking. If you operate a food business, the importance of good food hygiene practices and procedures should not be under estimated.
