Nutrition and Food Safety Training

It is a legal requirement that anyone who handles food for others (either paid or voluntary) must receive training or instruction in how to handle food safely.

RSPH offers training at levels 2-4, suitable for front-line workers, supervisors and managers in food catering and related industries. The level 2 programme can all be delivered or supported by e-learning.

Depending on the level, our training can cover:

• How to handle food safely
• Bacteria growth and the effect on food
• Temperature control (chilling and cooking of food)
• How to prepare, cook, serve and store food safely
• How to protect food
• The law relevant to public health and food safety
• The application and monitoring of good food safety procedures
• Understand how to implement food safety management procedures
• Analyse food safety hazards and their controls
• Understand the role of the supervisor in ensuring compliance with food safety legislation
• Evaluate management’s role in operational requirements in catering or other industries

Who are they for?

These programmes are essential for those who work in catering – preparing, cooking and serving food.

Those who work in related sectors such as food retail, child care, residential care or transport will also benefit from the programmes, if they handle food as part of their duties and are concerned about public health.
