This Level 1 Food Safety course has been designed to provide important knowledge for those individuals who work directly and indirectly with food and in the food environment, including low responsibility food handlers who prepare or handle food in the safe food manufacturing settings. Course candidates will be able to learn about current legislation that affects the way they work in the food industry, HACCP process, food hazards and the way to control them. The course also covers safety practices with regard to prevention of contamination, building design, personal hygiene, cleaning, waste management and pest control within the business premises.
