Course Overview: Food Safety Management (HACCP)

Food safety management training is a legal requirement for all food handlers in the United Kingdom. It ensures that the food that they handle, prepare and serve is safe to eat and also helps to protect workers by managing safety in the kitchen.

Employers need to ensure that their staff receive suitable food safety management training so that they can carry out their roles effectively. Employees and volunteers need to understand food safety management procedures together with the principles of HACCP (Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Point).

The Caredemy Food Safety Management: Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Point (HACCP) course provides online HACCP and food safety training which meets the regulations for UK food handlers.

What is Food Safety training?

Effective food safety procedures must be put in place within the kitchen, so that the food prepared and served there is safe to eat. Food safety management training ensures that all food handlers understand the procedures supporting food safety within the workplace so that they can comply with the relevant food hygiene and food safety standards.

Food safety management also requires employers to consider the suppliers they use, the traceability of the food they buy and the transport methods they use to deliver. Food safety procedures help to reduce food waste and can also improve profitability in the business.

What is HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point)?

The principles of HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) help to manage food safety hazards by examining the risks that exist in your business and ensuring that these risks are removed or minimised. 

As an employer, you will need to put appropriate food safety management procedures in place, demonstrate that they are effective and that staff are following the procedures correctly. You will also need to decide what actions need to be taken in the event of something going wrong.

HACCP principles are only effective if everyone understands why they are important and what actions they need to take. This HACCP course aims to make a complex subject easier to grasp so that all staff can understand the role that they play in food safety.
