Are there legal requirements for food safety training?

In the UK businesses dealing with food must ensure that their staff are properly supervised and trained in a way that is appropriate to their role.

• Risk-based: The training required depends on the risks from the types of food and the job performed by the staff member.
• Type of training: Staff can be trained in several ways, although this is likely to be a mixture of formal courses and on-the-job training.
• Supervision and management: Training front line staff is most effective if management are also trained and competent to oversee their activities.

The Digital College has a full range of courses to help you and your colleagues get qualified with minimal effort.
