Food Safety and Hygiene Level 1

This course will provide you with current food hygiene information applicable to workers in low-risk environments or low-risk job roles where food isn’t handled directly.

This level of food safety and hygiene training is the most basic and gives learners an introduction to the core concepts of food safety including, food safety hazards, cleaning routines, cooking temperatures, cross-contamination, personal hygiene and food storage. Level 1 is suitable for staff who don’t handle food directly, or only handle low-risk or already packaged foods.

Examples of employees who may benefit from Level 1 food safety training include:

• Front of house staff such as waiters and bartenders

• Back of house staff such as kitchen porters

• Retail workers who sell or stock food in their role

• Food delivery drivers

• Warehouse staff

• We recommend REHIS certificated courses for people preparing and cooking food
