Overview

If you work in a food establishment but don’t directly handle or prepare food, the Food Safety – Level 1 course is ideal for you. The course is designed for individuals to gain an understanding of the basic principles of food and safety. Many people work in establishments that serve customers and need to apply food and safety practices when near food. The course focuses on these elements and enables individuals to familiarise themselves with best practices in order to be near food in a healthy manner.

The Food Safety – Level 1 course covers key topics which includes food hygiene, the importance of food safety, food safety practices, food contamination and how to prevent it.

The Food Safety Act was created in 1990 with the objective of ensuring that customers come to no harm within a food establishment. If you work with wrapped and pre-packaged food, the Food Safety – Level 1 course will offer insight on how to prevent harm to customers. Any individual working with food or near food must maintain the highest standard of food safety and hygiene to minimise potential and harmful risks.
