Food Hygiene and Safety Management Training Course
A single contamination incident can cause illness, regulatory closure and lasting damage to a brand, and most incidents trace back to everyday lapses in handling, cleaning or temperature control. You begin with the principles of microbiological, chemical, physical and allergenic hazards, personal hygiene rules and premises requirements. Practical sessions cover receiving, storage, thawing, cooking, cooling and holding temperatures, cleaning and sanitation schedules, pest control and preventing cross-contamination. The hazard analysis day applies HACCP principles, identifying critical control points, setting critical limits and designing monitoring and corrective actions.
Compliance sessions explain prerequisite programmes, ISO 22000 food safety management systems, traceability, recall procedures, records and preparing for inspections and audits. The final day addresses culture: supervision, training of food handlers, accountability and how to keep standards high when no inspector is watching. Group work includes walk-through hazard assessments and drafting a simple HACCP plan for a kitchen or production line. Food production supervisors, catering and hospitality managers, quality officers, hospital and school kitchen staff and environmental health officers will be able to run safer operations and demonstrate compliance with confidence.
About this course
This Food Hygiene and Safety Management training focuses on helping participants maintain safe food operations through effective hygiene practices and food safety management systems. The course explores contamination prevention, hazard identification, sanitation procedures, food handling standards, regulatory compliance, and monitoring techniques. Participants will gain practical skills for managing food safety risks and ensuring food quality throughout the supply chain.
Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from industrial sites, construction operations, healthcare facilities, and regulated workplace environments, examining how food hygiene and safety management is applied in practice and where it most often breaks down.
