This is a very practical look at the food handler and their responsibilities under the Act. All students will leave with a thorough understanding of practices that will result in safe food, and the ability to work confidently under a food control plan.
KEY SUBJECTS INCLUDE:
Essential training – sickness, hand hygiene, personal hygiene, cleaning, food allergens, potentially hazardous food preventing cross-contamination, waste management, pest and animal control, checking temperatures and calibrating thermometers, receiving goods, food storage.
