Overview

This is not a qualification module but not all your staff need a formal qualification. Food Hygiene regulations allow staff other than key food handlers ie: chefs, to be trained ‘to the needs of the job’. This interactive module is designed specifically for food and drink service staff and uses examples of both areas throughout. Consider using Allergy Aware with this module for all round knowledge.

Audience

All operational staff in hotels, restaurants and bars to ensure they are aware of all health and safety procedures. Modules can be used as a complete programme or individually for specific training needs or refreshers. Individuals may like to develop their own knowledge and confidence or use the module certificates at interviews. The programme will contribute to the guided learning hours for those staff completing a hospitality apprenticeship.

Objectives

• Identify the 3 types of contamination and methods of control
• Describe safe food and drink handling practices
• State the personal hygiene rules for food handlers and effective hand washing procedures
• Identify key cleaning procedures in food and bar service areas and the importance of pest awareness
