About the course

This Level 1 Food Safety (Retail) Training course is a ROSPA and CPD approved course designed to help learners understand how to minimise the level of potential hazards in a food catering setting. Food Handlers and their employers have a legal duty to manage Food Safety. These obligations are set out by a number of EU and UK Laws. These Laws state that food handlers must make sure that food which is prepared, cooked, served or sold, is safe for human consumption. Failing to follow food safety standards can cause food to become contaminated with potentially fatal consequences.
Food safety combines a number of practices to reduce health hazards. These include premises hygiene, personal hygiene, risk control, pest control and waste management.

Aims of the course

This Level 1 Food Safety Training Course for Retail aims to ensure those employees in a Retail environment who are regularly involved in the handling, preparation and serving of food, are fully informed about the risks and hazards involved in their role and the steps they may take to control and prevent contamination and risk.
