Level 1 Food Safety – Catering
CPD, IIRSM, Gatehouse Awards, Institute of Hospitality & IOSH Approved
Course Overview
In accordance with EU and UK Laws, food handlers and their employers bear a legal responsibility to uphold Food Safety standards. These regulations stipulate that all food prepared, cooked, served, or sold must be safe for human consumption. Neglecting food safety standards can lead to food contamination, posing potentially severe consequences. Our online training system is designed to provide employees with comprehensive awareness of the risks associated with poor food safety practices. It also covers the origins of food safety risks and effective methods for their prevention and control.
