Online Health and Safety for Food Workers Award - Level 2
Ensuring that your staff recieve training in Health and Safety is a legal obligation under the Health and Safety at Work Act (1974). This Act forms the basis of most modern legislation and was the start of the movement to transform our workplaces into safer, more pleasant environments. Health and Safety makes sense:-
Accidents can cause expensive law suits, problems with enforcing authorities, increased insurance costs, loss of contracts and money, in addition to the potential harm to valued staff and visitors.
This Online Health and Safety Course is the only one written to meet the needs of staff working in the Food Industry, be it in Manufacturing, Catering or Retail.Food has distinctive hazards associated with its production eg. hot ovens, sophisticated machinery, high voltage equipment, knives and saws, large animals and slippery floors.
This course addresses those hazards and will help provide evidence of due diligence if necessary.
