This Level 2 Food Safety (Manufacturing) 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 manufacturing 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.
Training your employees will provide greater awareness of the dangers that poor food safety standards pose, as well as covering how food safety risks actually arise and how to control and prevent them.
This Level 2 Food Safety Training Course for Manufacturing aims to ensure those employees in a Manufacturing environment who are regularly involved in the handling and preparation 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.
This Level 2 Food Safety (Manufacturing) Training course is an ideal solution to staff working in a manufacturing setting where food is prepared, cooked and handled. Typical environments include pubs, hotels, restaurants; supermarkets and manufacturing environments; food and drink manufacturers; hospitals; care homes and schools.

Premises Hygiene Standards, Personal Hygiene, Cross Contamination, Reporting Procedures, Record Keeping, Complaints and Complaint Management, Food Safety Enforcement Action, Food Standards Agency, the benefits of a documented food management system.
2Hazards from Delivery to Service
The stages at which food safety risks can occur, delivery temperature, vehicle safety and avoiding cross contamination during transportation, workplace hazards including storage, equipment and cleaning products. Contamination hazards – physical, chemical, allergenic, biological. How food becomes unsafe to consume. Micro-organisms – what they are, why they can be dangerous and controlling them for safety. Common foodborne diseases, causes, symptoms and illnesses and prevention. Food poisoning sources, causes, symptoms and illnesses. The most common allergens and their risks – causes, symptoms and illnesses. The hazard of cross contamination. The importance of personal hygiene. Food packaging and containment.
3Risk Control (Prevention of Contamination)
How food becomes contaminated, what keeps food safe? Food poisoning – its control and prevention and how bacteria are spread. Foodborne illness – its control and prevention and why it is more dangerous than food poisoning. Minimising contamination risks during the delivery of food, particularly for high risk foods. Key principles of safe storage including temperature, food labelling, use by and best before dates, safe handling and storage of food allergens, stock rotation. Preservation methods including freezing and defrosting and cold storage. Temperature control – hot and cold – legal requirements, chilling and cold holding, cooking, hot holding and reheating. Prevention of cross contamination, food premises and equipment, waste management, pest control, safe storage and use of chemicals, safe cleaning and disinfection.
4Pests, Premises and People
Types of food pests and their risks to safety, where they might be found and how to prevent, manage, control and treat them. How to maintain a food standard of food safety in premises – set cleaning systems and schedules, maintenance. Personal hygiene principles, removing the ‘human element’ as much as possible.
Conclusion – ensuring that all aspects are addressed, monitored and maintained and the responsibility for meeting Food Safety Hygiene Laws and Regulations.
