Food safety is actually quite new when it comes to its usage and importance in the modern-era. Most societies didn’t have regulation pertaining to food health for centuries, barely a hundred years ago. Without these rules put in place, we are risking the business being brought to each restaurant and the well-being of consumers.
This is why it’s important to have a clear understanding of what you can do with food, how to handle it, where to store it and the appropriate method of serving it to people. This is why Green Vision Training Centre is offering food hygiene courses online for any new food handlers or those wanting to recertify their certification. Take our online course today and be the best when it comes to food hygiene.
Key Points of the Food Safety Act
The main point for this legislation is to ensure food is meant for human consumption. This can involve the preparation done, how it was stored, what it’s being advertised as and/or the way it is consumed. Understandably, you can’t force people to eat a certain way but if you give harmful advice on the best way to eat then you can get in trouble.
These may sound like obvious previsions to enforce but there are thousands of people who willfully ignore these rules or flat-out don’t know. Furthermore, you will be charged with an offense if it was within a three year time period since it was done or one year after the discovery by a prosecutor. Thankfully, there is a wide range of businesses who want to ensure you keep your place of food consumption safe for you, the people working there and your consumers.
What is Food Safety Training?
Food safety training is meant to keep your cantine safe and healthy for everyone involved. You wouldn’t want someone to handle food if they never wash their hands or store meat in the middle of a hot room. However, the training you receive may differ based on what you are doing, which is why there are three levels of education to follow.
Level One Food Safety
This level of training is meant for those who are handling wrapped food, also known as low-risk. You’ll be given the basic information on food hygiene; keeping areas clean, limiting the chance of contamination and identifying key issues. The people doing this knowledge gathering are going to be front of housers, retail workers, back of house employees and warehouse staff.
Level Two Food Safety
This course is going to help people have an understanding and control food safety risks—personal hygiene, storage, cooking, and handling—and enhance the expertise to deliver safe substances to customers. The people who will need to take this class are those in supermarkets, delis, bakeries, food and drink manufacturing, pubs, hospitals, care homes, hotels, restaurants, schools and nurseries, and even prisons.
Level Three Food Safety
Similar to level two in terms of what you need to do, these students are in charge of a team of people. You will be given a deep understanding of how to train staff in food safety, as well as help people comprehend the importance of various management systems. This will give the people an idea on how to apply healthy food ethics in all aspects of the business. This is why the main people who take this class are head chefs, kitchen managers, supervisors and/or managers of fast-food places, supervisory handlers, restaurant and café owners, pub owners and landlords.
