Level 2 Award in Food Safety in Catering

The law requires that all food handlers are trained and/or supervised commensurate with their work activities. The Level 2 Award in Food Safety in Catering of the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health is a first level qualification in food hygiene and is nationally recognised in all sectors of the food industry.
 
Rigorous enforcement of food hygiene legislation is important, but is not in itself sufficient to prevent food poisoning. Food poisoning is normally caused by negligence or inexperience and consequently most experts in food hygiene believe that a reduction in the high level of food poisoning cases will only be achieved by the education of food handlers.
 
The practical information and advice contained in the programme will enable workers who complete the course to ensure that their work activities are carried out in a hygienic and safe way.
 
The syllabus includes: -

• Bacteriology
• The cause of food poisoning
• Prevention of food poisoning
• Personal hygiene
• Pest control
• Cleaning

On completion of the course, candidates will be able to sit the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health Level 2 Award in Food Safety in Catering Examination.
