Level 1 Food Hygiene and Safety

Overview: Level 1 Food Hygiene and Safety Course

Anyone working in an establishment that deals with food should have a basic understanding of food hygiene and safety principles. In industries such as catering and food delivery, it is essential that any food safety hazards can be identified and that waste is managed efficiently.

Employees who don’t directly handle food but work in an environment with food handling should take this Level 1 Food Hygiene and Safety Course. The design of each training module covers essential elements of food hygiene and safety, including laws, safety control measures, personal hygiene, and food safety hazards.

By the end of the course, you’ll understand how to ensure food safety in the workplace and comply with food health and safety legislation. Please note that if your job requires you to handle food, you will need to take a Level 2 Food and Hygiene Safety Course in addition to this one.
